Grand Master, 1921

JOHN BAILEY OWEN

GRAND MASTER 1921

Right Worshipful John Bailey Owen, Grand Master
of The Grand Lodge of North Carolina, was born . in
Halifax County, Virginia, March 21, 1863. He was the
fifth son of William L. and Harriet A. Owen, whose maid-
en name was Harriet Easley. He had six brothers and
four sisters. He was educated in the local schools of the
county.

He came to Henderson in January, 1889, and orga-
nized the Citizens Bank, acting as its first cashier. He
was elected president of this bank in 1895, which po-
sition he still holds. This bank has changed its name
to The Citizens Bank & Trust Company and is the lead-
ing bank in this section.

He married Eva Currin November 23, 1892, who de-
parted this life September 26, 1904. Of this marriage
one child, Mary Currin Owen, born January 4, 1903,
still survives.

J. Bailey Owen is a member of Henderson Lodge,
No. 229. He was initiated July 21, 1891, passed August
4, 1891, raised September 1, 1891. He was Master of
Henderson Lodge for the years 1906, 1909, 1918, 1914
and 1915. He received the Chapter degrees in Oxford
Chapter in 1892, for the purpose of assisting in orga-
nizing a Chapter at Henderson; was a charter member
of Henderson Chapter, No. 54, and was its first Scribe.
He was a charter member of Henderson Commandery,
No. 15. He was a charter member of Henderson Coun-
cil, No. 10, Royal and Select Masters.

He was High Priest of Henderson Chapter for sev-
eral years. He joined the order of the Priesthood at
Kinston in the meeting May 12, 1908. He joined the
Shrine Oasis Temple December 28, 1906, at Charlotte.
He was D.D.G.M. of 8th District, N. C., for a num-
ber of years. He was elected Director of the Oxford Ox-
phan Asylum in 1915 and has served on the board
bea distinguished success and helpfulness continuous-
y.

He was appointed Grand Sword Bearer by Grand
Master J. T. Alderman in the year 1914, and has filled
each station from this to Grand Master to which posi-
tion he was unanimously elected January, 1921.

4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

He is a Mason just and true; loyal to his friends,
his Lodge, and the brotherhood. His knowledge of the
principle, laws, landmarks, edicts and resolutions of
the Craft is vast. He has been for many years a close
student of Masonic law and precedent. He is careful,
painstaking and accurate, and is acknowledged as an
authority on all questions of Masonic law and prece-
dent. His Brethren in the local Lodge feel that the hon-
ors he has received have been worthily bestowed because
they know they were fairly won by faithful, diligent
work and study. They rejoice because they feel that
the Purple rests on one worthy to wear it; one who by
faithful service has shown himself always ready to spend
and be spent to advance our Fraternity.

He has attended every Grand Lodge of North Caro-
lina for a score of years. He is always present at the
meetings of the Directors of the Orphan Asylum. Noth-
ing concerning the Craft is too insignificant for his
watchful carefulness, nothing too large for his compre-
hensive grasp of Masonic law and precedent, nothing
too difficult for his untiring energy and zeal.

PROCEEDINGS

TUESDAY, January 18, 1921.

The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted
Masons of North Carolina convened in its one hundred
and thirty-fourth annual communication in the hall of
the Masonic Temple, in the city of Raleigh, on Tuesday
evening, January 18, 1921, at 7:30 o’clock, and was
opened in ample form, M.’.W.’.James C. Braswell, Grand
Master, presiding, it appearing that a constitutional
number of Lodges were represented.

Rev. John S. Wood, Grand Chaplain, delivered or
invocation, as follows:

Oh, Thou who inhabitest eternity, who was in the be-
ginning with God, and without whom was not anything
made that is made, the supreme intelligence, the author
of life, with hearts full of love and gratitude that with-
in thy Providence Thou has permitted us to assemble,
and that wherever two or three are met in Thy name
Thou art in the midst of them and wilt bless them; We
ask Thy blessing upon this present assembly in this
hour. Grant our Heavenly Father that the spirit of fra-
ternal love and truth may dwell in every heart, and that
we may so exemplify the teachings of our Masonic Or-
der while met together and as we go back to our several
places of abode, that we may become fit material for that
spiritual temple not made with hands, eternal in the
Heavens. AMEN. ,

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 21

Grand Master’s Address

The Most Worshipful William W. Galt, Grand Mas-
ter of Virginia, was escorted into the Grand Lodge by
Past Grand Masters A. B. Andrews and Richard N. Hack-
ett, and was introduced by Past Grand Master Richard N.
Hackett, as follows:

Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brethren of The
Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

I have the honor and great pleasure to announce that
Most Worshipful William W. Galt, Grand Master of
Virginia, is present before The Grand Lodge of North
Carolina.

The Grand Master: Please conduct the Grand Mas-
ter of Virginia to the east. Grand Master Galt, as Grand
Master of a sister Grand Jurisdiction, so intimately as-
sociated with the Grand Jurisdiction of North Carolina,
not only in Masonry but in matters common to two
Grand Jurisdictions and Grand Commonwealths, I wel-
come you most heartily to The Grand Lodge of North
Carolina. ;

Grand Master Galt: Most Worshipful Grand Mas-
ter of The Grand Lodge of North Carolina, and Brethren
of our sister State: When I received an invitation to
come and be your guest at your annual communication
this year, I did not take time to sit down; I telegraphed
at once that I would be delighted to come. I have for
years been wishing to visit Masons in North Carolina,
but have never had an opportunity to do so. North Caro-
lina and Virginia are so closely connected that it is hard
to tell who is a Virginian and who is a North Carolin-
ian. Years ago North Carolina was a part of Virginia,
one of Virginia’s daughters, and now only an invisible
line separates the two states; but no line, visible or in-
visible, separates the Masons of North Carolina from
Masons of Virginia.

I have no doubt there is some difference in the work of
the two jurisdictions; but that is nothing. I understand
there is less difference between our work than between
that in any other jurisdictions in the United States; pos-
sibly excepting West Virginia, the last daughter of Old
Virginia.

22 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

I come from Norfolk; and every time I mention Nor-
folk, North Carolinians say, “Norfolk is a North Caro-
lina town;” and when you go out into Masonry, into the
Church, or into any association there, you find it pretty
nearly so. I just-met the father of the District Deputy
Grand Master J. W. Calvert, of District No. 35, Norfolk
District, one of the ablest D. D. G. Masters in the state. -
His father says this is because he comes from North
Carolina.

I have been in the Navy about 43 years, and when I
stopped going to sea, my Brethren put me through the
chairs in my Lodge, Owens, No. 164; later, I went to the
Grand Lodge as a visitor, later still as Grand Junior
Deacon. Now, I have been highly honored by having
been made Grand Master of Masons in Virginia. And
now visiting your Grand Lodge, I feel it an honor and
pleasure not to be surpassed.

Being Grand Master of Masons in Virginia, I felt it
my duty, being on the retired list of the Navy and hav-
ing the opportunity to try and meet as many Masons as
possible. I visited, during the year, almost all of the
fifty-eight districts of the Old Dominion; and have seen
a wonderful display of Masonic enthusiasm and devo-
tion. Nothing could be more delightful and instructive.
It has been a revelation to me. Would that I could do
likewise in the Grand Old Tar Heel State.

This, my Brethren, brings us to the subject of the
George Washington Masonic National Memorial Asso-
ciation. |

I know that you have endorsed this splendid concep-
tion, and some of the Grand Jurisdictions have gone over
the top with their subscriptions already. Virginia has,
in various ways, subscribed $22,725.00, of which $10,-
225.00 has been paid in. She has aided in many ways,
among which is the securing of the Temple site and a
number of acres surrounding it, that will eventually net
the association a handsome sum. She might have done
better, and we hope to bring her soon up to the place
where she belongs.

You claim a part in George Washington’s life. He
was born in Virginia; but belongs to North Carolina, he
belongs to California, he belongs to the Dacotas; he be-
longs to the Nation, to the world; the greatest man, the
most well rounded character in history; a man who was
great in every respect; a man who controlled men and

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 28

dominated every undertaking with which he was ever as-
sociated; who guided the writers of the Constitution,
the greatest document drawn by man; who guided them
on Masonic principles, with the assistance of the fifty out
of the fifty-six writers who were Masons. The Declara-
tion of Independence had about as many Masons among
the signers.

It is, therefore, the duty of the Fraternity to carry out
this grand scheme, make the George Washington Memo-
rial Temple, that will overlook Mount Vernon, the Po-
tomac River and the City of Washington, a magnificent
success; and most of us shall live to see it the most no-
table and interesting edifice of the Masonic world.

It is the duty of every Master of a Lodge to see that
the Brethren keep up with the work—then they will be
anxious and willing to go to Lodge whenever open. This
ought to be urged upon every Master. Give every Bro-
ther possible a part in the work, no matter how big or
little, and he will want to do it and will have a better
time when there.

I want to say, my Brethren, that this is one of the
most pleasant moments. of my life; and I am happy and
proud to be your guest and be allowed to talk to you to-
night. I thank you.

P. G. M. Francis D. Winston: Most Worshipful
Grand Master and my Brethren: We welcome you,
Grand Master Galt, to North Carolina. Coming as you
do from the State of Virginia, I feel pretty close to you;
in fact, I think I have a right to feel pretty close. The
fact is I married a woman from that territory.

The old State of Virginia—lovable, delightful, real
heart-felt Virginia—is our friend and your friend and my
friend tonight; and, therefore, I respond to our most dis-
tinguished Brother tonight, and give him a hearty wel-
come to the old State of North Carolina, because the
great State of Virginia prided herself in North Carolina,
and took North Carolina’s name for herself as hers.

I am happy to meet our Brother tonight. I have
known the Grand Master of Virginia; I have known
them all. When he with courtesy and kindness and with
the spirit of Masonry in his heart welcomed all the Ma-
sons to the State of Virginia, at the Washington Anni-
versary Burial, it was my great pleasure to be with them
in that splendid ceremony.

24 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

It is fine, my friends, to be a Mason. The best thing
I know of is to be a Mason. You may think there is
something better than that; but you only think so. There
is nothing in the world that beats Masonry, because it
is the spirit; it is the eternal spirit of righteousness and
justice and truth, and, therefore, nothing can excel it.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome our Brother to
our city. We are going to call on him in the morning to
talk again. We want to hear him again. We welcome
you, Brother. ‘

The Grand Master then delivered the following ad-
dress, which was referred to the Board of General Pur-
poses: \

Brethren of The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

One year ago, by your generous suffrage, the scepter
of authority was entrusted to me. It was accepted with
a profound sense of gratitude and in secret determina-
tion that I would be directed by the principles of our
great Order; always acting in moderation and decorum.
Another year is being numbered with the past; another
year of joys and sorrow, of sunshine and shadows. With
the wonderful progress we have made in material af-
fairs Masonry has kept step, and in the name of a strong
_and harmonious Brotherhood I extend to you a cordial
welcome to the 134th annual communication of this
Grand Lodge, and right cheerily do I greet you, my
Brethren, whose honored heads are crowned with the
glory of accumulating years, and you, who, in the
strength and pride of manhood, will soon assume the re-
sponsibilities of our Order and through whose zeal and
fidelity we can confidently hope our Noble Order will
rise to a still higher plane. These annual reunions are
restful oases in life’s Sahara. Here we renew the old and
form new friendships and cement them with strong ties
of Brotherly Love. As the tiny bud opens and expands
its tender petals, under the ripening influence of the
morning’s genial sun, into a beautiful, full blown rose, so
by these associations are our hearts filled with fraternal
love and affection and we are here taught by the sublime
tenets of our glorious Order, in all their matchless pu-
rity and vigor, the indisputable truth of the Brotherhood
of Man and the Fatherhood of God; and when we shall
have resumed our working tools, the inspiring influence
of these communications will soothe our weary souls

_—

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 25
with recollections as soft and sweet as the sound of the
distant convent bell to the weary desert traveler.
Before proceeding with our report of the year’s re-
. cord, let us pause for a moment in loving remembrance
of our Fraternal Dead. While we acknowledge our
gratitude to our Supreme Grand Master for the many
blessings we have enjoyed, yet our hearts sorrow at the
going of our Brethren. On October 12th, the Grim
Reaper invaded our official circle and laid his icy hand
upon our beloved Brother, Richard T. Gowan, Grand
Auditor, and garnered him into God’s storehouse. Our
sister jurisdictions and many of our Subordinate Lodges
have paid toll to this exacting tyrant. To their. memory
and virtues the Committee on Necrology will pay tribute.

SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS

Gastonia: To lay corner stone of the North Caro-
lina Orthopoedic Hospital, June 8th.

Oxford: St. John’s Day, June 24th.

Roanoke Rapids: To lay corner stone of Graded
School building.

Hobgood: To lay corner stone of Graded School

Grand Auditor: On October 16th, I appointed Bre.
Homer Peele, Grand Auditor, to succeed Bro. R. T. Gow-
an, deceased. .

DAVIE EXERCISES

Unable to attend in person, I appointed Bro. M. C. 8.
Noble to represent this Grand Lodge, of which General
Davie was Grand Master, at the University Day exer-
cises, when, through the generosity of Mr. J. A. Ball, of
Charleston, a portrait of Past Grand Master Davie was
presented to the University.

MRS. BELLE ASH PECK

On November 2nd, I granted Mrs. Belle Ash Peck, a
member of the Home Endowment Fund Board of the
Masonic and Eastern Star Home, permission to canvass
the Lodges in this jurisdiction in the interest of the
Home. In this I may have overstepped my authority; if,

26 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

however, I have erred, it has been in charity’s cause and
I have no apology to offer for such error.

DONATIONS

On March 7th, I received through Bro. W. 8S. Willis,
Secretary of the Red Sea Oil and Refining Company, of
Wichita Falls, Texas, a certificate for 50 shares in that
company. This donation was made by Dr. J. J. McKan-
na of Oklahoma City. Due acknowledgment was made
of its receipt and the certificate forwarded to Bro. C. M.
Vanstory of the Home’s Board of Directors for which
institution the donation was made.

HATCHER LODGE, No. 310

On April 30th, upon a majority vote, I granted dis-
pensation to Hatcher Lodge to move to Rock Ridge, the
latter being more centrally located and more accessible
to travel. Upon objection from one of the Brethren of
the Lodge to this removal, I requested D. D. G. M.
Thompson to visit this Lodge and report his findings.
This he did, and recommended that the removal be made
permanent, as in his opinion this action would prove
convenient and beneficial to the Craft in that jurisdic-
tion, and I hope this recommendation will be sustained.

COATS LODGE, NO. 622—-HARNETT LODGE, NO. 258

On March 26th, I granted concurrent jurisdiction
over Angier between Coats Lodge, No. 622, and Harnett
Lodge, No. 258, because of the almost dormant condition
of Harnett Lodge and the greater convenience to travel
by rail and dirt roads, between Angier and Coats.

CHARTER RESTORED

On October 22nd, upon the recommendation of Grand
Lecturer R. F. Edwards and D. D. G. M. Buck, I re-
stored Bee Log Lodge Charter, No. 548, which had been
previously arrested for sufficient cause. Brother Ed-
wards had recently visited and lectured this Lodge and
earnestly recommended restoration of its charter.

DISCIPLINE °

It became my painful duty to remove from office the
Master of one of our Lodges for un-Masonic conduct.
Acting under Sections 166-169 inclusive, of the Code, a

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 27

commission of three Past Masters was to investigate the
charges against this Brother ; they met, organized and af-
ter consideration of the evidence recommended expul-
sion. The commission was sustained and the trial pro-
ceedings filed with the Grand Secretary.

Pee Dee Lodge, No. 150, issued a charity appeal. for
one of its members and, upon investigation, it was as-
certained that this Brother had listed for taxation real
and personal property aggregating about $14,000. Be-
lieving this to be an imposition upon the Craft, the
Lodge was ordered to reimburse the several Lodges
which has subscribed to this call for aid and to make
apology to the Grand Lodge. No record of individual
Lodge contributions was kept but the total amount, about
$275.00, has been received by the Grand Secretary, with
the required apology, and I recommend that this money
be turned over to the Oxford Orphanage.

GRAND REPRESENTATIVES

I have commissioned the following Grand Represen-
tatives near other Grand Lodges:

Tennessee: Chas. Barham, March 24th.

New York: Jno. N. Bierwirth, November 4th, vice
R.’.W.’.Harry Rosen, resigned.

CHARTER ARRESTED

On October 21st, I arrested the charter of Moores-
ville Lodge, No. 496. On July 6th, a petitioner was re-
jected at a stated meeting and on the following day, at
a special communication, said petitioner was again bal-
loted on, and accepted. Upon investigation by our
Grand Secretary, he found that to be a common prac-
tice by this Lodge as well as other flagrant violations of
the Code. '

MASONIC CLUB HOUSE—CAMP SEVIER

The suggestion being made by P. G. M. Geo. T. Bry-
an of South Carolina, that the Masonic Club House at
Camp Sevier be turned over to a charitable organization
for rescue work, the Grand Master of South Carolina
submitted this proposition to the War Relief Board and
there was a general disposition among those consulted
to grant a temporary use of this building for the pur-
pose stated, and in that disposition I concurred, and now
submit the proposition for your final determination.

DECISIONS

As defined in the Code I have not been called upon to
make a single decision. Many interpretations have been
requested and: in a vast majority of them, reference to ..
the Code and Andrews’ Digest would have rendered cor-
respondence unnecessary. It is very evident that many
of the Lodges have no Code or they do not consult it.
The only construction, or interpretation, I shall submit
to the Committee is:

“Yours of the 19th ultimo, addressed to the Grand Secretary
has been referred to me. I note that you have recently had two
members who were suspended for nonpayment of dues apply for
reinstatement, and their applications were rejected. You now
wish to know whether such application will have to undergo the
examination prescribed and the ballot taken thereon after the
said application has laid over for thirty days. Answering all of
these inquiries in the affirmative, I quote you as follows:

“Section 116 of the Constitution: ‘A ‘petition for initiation or
membership shall be recommended by two members of the Lodge
petitioned, and be referred to a committee of three other mem-
bers for inquiry into the character and qualifications of the pe-
titioner. Such petition can only be received at a stated meeting,
and one lunar month must intervene between its reception and
the balloting thereon. But no ballot shall be taken on a petition
until a committee shall have made its report thereon.’

“Section 170 of the Constitution: ‘A Brother suspended for
non-payment of dues shall not again be reinstated except upon
regular application to the Lodge,’ ete.

“Section 171 of the Constitution: ‘To restore one expelled or
suspended, before the expiration of the time named in the sen-
tence, shall require regular petition, reference to committee, ac-
tion deferred for one month, report of committee, and unanimous
ballot by the Lodge that sentenced him, if in existence,’ etc.

“Also see Regulation 268: ‘A petition for initiation is re-
jected; such petitioner may make another application at any
time, but such petition shall not be acted upon within one year.’

“Section 125 of the Constitution: The same section provides
that when a petitioner has been rejected either for advancement
or for membership, he cannot be balloted on for advancement or
ao again in less than three months from the time of re-
jection.

_ “Though this section of the Constitution provides that such
petition shall not be acted on within one year, yet in view of Sec-
tions 123 and 124 of the Constitution, I am constrained to be-
lieve that the word ‘acted’ as used in Section 125 is intended to
be construed ‘balloted.’

“It is my opinion, therefore, that a candidate for initiation.

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 29

whose petition has been rejected, can again petition the Lodge, a
committee can be appointed, the committee can make its report,
BUT NO BALLOT thereon can be taken until the twelve months
have elapsed.

“The same rule would apply to petitions for advancement
and membership, except that such petitions could be acted on af-
ter the lapse of three months.”

CUSTODIANS AND GRAND LECTURERS

The Board of Custodians and Grand Lecturers held
their meeting in Mount Airy in July. It was impossible
for me to attend. The sessions were profitable ones and
I presume we will have report from the Board.

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS

But few of these have forwarded reports. This of-
fice is not only an honor, but one of great importance
and affords splendid opportunity for service. The re-
ports received indicate an earnestness and zeal on the
part of the Deputies, and a healthful condition of the
Craft.

DISPENSATIONS

Requests for dispensations have been very numerous;
none, however, have been issued that were not clearly
authorized by the Code. Some may have been merito-
rious, but my duty has been not to make, but to execute,
the laws.

OXFORD ORPHANAGE

This institution should be the pride of every Mason
in North Carolina. I have inspected. the management and
operation of its several departments and cannot too high-
ly commend its Superintendent and Board of Directors
to. your consideration. I bespeak for them a patient
hearing and a most liberal answer to their requests.
Needed improvements have been made, but others are
demanded to successfully carry on this glorious work.
Detailed reports will be presented by its Superintendent
and Board of Directors.

MASONIC AND EASTERN STAR HOME

A visit to this Home for the Aged and Infirm is all
that is necessary to enlist your sympathy and codpera-
tion in making the evening of their lives pleasant and
peaceful and you to realize that it is “more blessed to

30 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

give than to receive.” The managers of this institution
are men of vision and their successful management of
its business affairs warrant your hearty support and co-
operation. Heed well their reports and recommenda-
tions.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION

Acute illness in my family prevented me from at-
tending the annual meeting of this association. Its
“Scope and Plans” have been so clearly presented to you
by Past Grand Master Grady that I deem it useless to
consume your time in further presentation. I presume
your accredited representatives will make detailed re-
ports of the association’s transactions. <A get-together
meeting of the South Atlantic Division of this associa-
tion was held in Raleigh on. May 31st. There were rep-
resentatives from all the states in this division except
Virginia. Although invitations were sent to all Past and
active Grand Officers and other prominent Masons, we
had a very small representation from North Carolina.
The meeting resolved itself into a round-table talk, and
from the splendid presentation of its “Objects and Pur-
poses” by P. G. M. Geo. L. Schoonover, of Iowa, I am
sure that those who were fortunate enough to attend ob-
tained a broader and clearer conception of its possibili-
ties.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MASONIC MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION

It was my pleasure to attend the annual meeting of
this association held in Alexandria, Virginia, February .
23rd and 24th. This jurisdiction was represented by P.
G. Ms. Cotten and Hackett, and Bros. Leon Cash, W. W.
Willson and myself. It was a most representative gath-
ering of Masons throughout the United States, and a
safe and sane progress has been made in accomplish-
ing its ends and purposes. I would be delighted to see
this jurisdiction contribute $1.00 per capita for the con-
struction of this Memorial—which amount could easily
be raised if the several Lodges were canvassed—and I
take this occasion to emphasize the recommendation of
my predecessor that the “Finance Committee provide
means for placing a Memorial Stone in this building”
and that our annual contribution be increased as much
as possible.

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 31

INTER-STATE COURTESIES

The spirit of Fraternity has characterized our rela-
tions with all Grand Lodges with which we sustain fra-
ternal relations.

GROWTH AND CONDITION OF ORDER

It is gratifying to note the growth, numerically and
financially, of Masonry during the year. The Grand
Secretary’s report will show a greater activity than in
‘ any preceding year. Harmony, however, has not pre-
vailed throughout this jurisdiction. There have been
some personal bickering and dissensions among the
Craft, of minor importance, and I take this opportunity
of expressing my appreciation of the efficient service ren-
dered by the distinguished Brethren in harmonizing
these differences. In every. instance the amende hon-
orable was made, and I believe if the Masters of the
Lodges will handle these occurrences in a firm but diplo-
matic way, friendship and brotherly love will character-
ize the Craft in this jurisdiction.

INVITATIONS

Invitations have come to me from Lodges in almost
every section of the state. I have visited all that oppor-
tunity would permit. Wherever I have gone the Breth-
ren have been cordial and gracious; and I am grateful.

Upon invitation of Grand Master Charles C. Homer,
it was my privilege and great pleasure to visit the Grand
Lodge of Maryland during its last annual communication
held in its magnificent Temple in the City of Baltimore.
Your Grand Master was the recipient of many courtesies
on that occasion, and the recollection thereof will linger
with him even to life’s sunset hour.

RECOM MENDATIONS

The work in the various Lodges of the State is not
uniform. Some Lodges are doing the work as prescribed
by this Grand Lodge and taught by its Lecturers; other
Lodges have availed themselves of the services of the
Lecturer only infrequently ; and some of the Lodges have
not had the Lecturers to teach them at all. This makes
for a condition that is not good for Masonry in our State.
The Grand Lodge, through its custodians, prescribes the
work that shall be done within this Grand Jurisdiction,
and it is the duty of every Subordinate Lodge to comply

32 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

with its requirements and see that the work done in it
is the work as prescribed by this Grand Lodge. I, there-
fore, recommend that every Subordinate Lodge be re-
quired to employ the services of the Grand Lecturer or
one of his assistants, for at least one week for every two
years; or in lieu thereof, that the three highest officers
of such Subordinate Lodge be required to furnish to the
Grand Secretary, at least once every two years, a certi-
ficate of proficiency in the work as prescribed by the
Grand Lodge, which said certificate shall be signed by ©
the Grand Lecturer or one of his assistants. And I fur-
ther recommend .that suitable penalties be prescribed by
the Jurisprudence Committee for the failure of any such
Subordinate Lodge to meet the said requirements.

APPEALS FOR AID

The custom in the past of permitting Lodges to cir-
culate appeals for aid, in my opinion, should be abolish-
ed. The amounts realized are frequently inadequate to
afford the necessary relief; it sometimes happens that
appeals are circulated which are unnecessary. I, there- ~
fore, recommend that all appeals for aid hereafter be in-
vestigated by the Committee on Charity as has hereto-
fore been done; that the Grand Treasurer be instructed.
to set aside the sum of $3,000 in some bank at 4 per cent.
interest; that the circulation to Lodges by appeal be in
the future prohibited, and that the Charity Committee
certify their approval of an appeal to the Grand Master
together with the amount contributed by the Lodge mak-
ing the appeal, and that the Grand Master be authorized
to have the Grand Treasurer send a check payable to the
order of the party for whom the appeal is made, for an
amount equal to that donated to him by his Lodge.

CONCLUSION

A year ago you were considerate enough to advance
me to the highest official station in this Grand Lodge.
For this undeserved preferment I can not find words
adequate to express my appreciation and _ gratitude.
I sincerely trust that you will not measure my apprecia-
tion by the accomplishments attained; but, about a “frail
body and beclouded mind” draw the softened folds of
charity’s veil and accept, as an earnest of my future, the
solemn pledge that when Masonry calls I can have but
one answer: “Here am I.”

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 33

Brethren, the year’s record is before you. If any-
thing commendable thas been accomplished it is due to
the inspiration of your manner of signally honoring me
a year ago and to the loyal support of Past and active
Grand Officers, and other Brethren upon whose counsel
and advice I have frequently drawn. To our Grand Sec-
retary, upon whose fund of Masonic knowledge I have
frequently drawn, I desire to express sincere apprecia-
tion; he has indeed been a pillar of strength to me. To
each and every one who has contributed to the year’s ac-
complishments I am most grateful. From all sections
of the State come reports of increased activity; in many ’
Lodges applicants are so numerous that the degree teams
are almost over-worked; there are not a sufficient num-
ber of well informed Brethren to give these newly-made
Masons a proper conception of the several degrees. The
real object and design of Freemasonry is never revealed
to a very large percentage of initiates; they are “blind
followers of the blind.” Brethren, for Masonry to come
into its own, the Craft must be informed; the future is
laden with golden opportunities for you and for me.

Gird on the panoply of intelligent, persistent effort;
smite the fount of Masonic resource and she will send
forth gushing tides strong and plentiful as the mystal
streams that burst forth from the barren rock at the
command of the Hebrew leader. And then, when the
evening shadows have lengthened o’er the mead, and
life’s sunset draws near, we can rest.

“When earth’s last picture is painted,

And the tubes are twisted and dried;

When the oldest color has faded,

And the youngest critic has died;
We shall rest, and faith we shall need it.
Lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of all good workmen
Shall put us to work anew.

“And those that are good shall be happy;
They shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten league canvas,
With brushes of comet’s hair;
They shall find real saints to draw from;
Magdalene, Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting
And never be tired at all.

Grand Secretary’s Report

Grand Secretary W. W. Willson presented the follow-
ing report, which was read and referred to the Board
of General Purposes:

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

BRETHREN :—It is again with much pleasure that I submit my
fourth Annual Report as your Grand Secretary.

We should be grateful for the progress which has been made
during the past year along financial and numerical lines. There
has been a healthy increase in Grand Lodge receipts. Your
Grand Secretary has collected from January 1, 1920, to January
1, 1921, and turned over to the Grand Treasurer $59,639.93, which
added to the collections for the Masonic Temple Construction
Company for the same period of time, makes over $80,000.00 col-
ected and handled during the year just ended.

NEW LODGES

One dispensation for a new Lodge has been issued during the
year, although there are two petitions about completed, and sev-
eral others are’ out. .

A dispensation was issued on April 1, 1920, to Pensacola
Lodge, U. D., Pensacola, Yancey county.

The above two statements will show the progress made fi-
nancially and numerically during the past year.

Following the example of my predecessor, our much loved
John C. Drewry, I am this year contrasting the receipts of the
Grand Lodge with the receipts and membership when I was
elected Grand Secretary in 1917. In 1917 the receipts from all
sources were $27,631.77. This year they are $59,639.98. De-

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 43

ducting the $23,960.00 Charity Fund from this total, leaves re-
ceipts from all other sources for the year $35,679.93, which is an

increase of 30 per cent. in four years, and, of course, makes an
increase with the Charity Fund of over 100 per cent. In 1917
we had a membership of 25,910. On June 30, 1920, our member-
ship was 32,925, which is an increase of about 30 per cent. over
1917. From, these results it would seem that North Carolina
Masons have been living in their daily lives the principles taught
cri with the result that many have been attracted to the
rder.
RETURNS OF LODGES

It is extremely important that all the Secretaries comply with
the Grand Lodge law which requires that all returns be filed in
the office of the Grand Secretary on or before September 1st to
enable the Grand Secretary to check the returns and have them
accurate and true that he may make up an accurate statement
of membership to the Grand Lodge. I trust that the Secretaries
who have been dilatory in the past will hereafter comply with
the law. It takes no more time to make up the returns of the
Lodge in July than it does after September 1st. They are cer-
tainly more liable to be free from error immediately after the
close of the fiscal year than at any other time. There are more
or less errors in most of them, which the Secretaries have uni-
“formly and cheerfully given the information to correct when re-
quested so to do. This year two returns were received the last
of June; July brought 69, and August 125, making 196 Lodges
out of 447 which complied with the law. 66 were received during
the month of September; 36 in October, and 69 in November.
The remainder were received. after December 1st; the latest to be
filed being received on January 14, 1921. Every report received
in the office on or before December 1st has been checked, a re-
cept written or the Secretary advised of errors and request made
for information to balance them. When the Grand Lodge law
is complied with in this matter, the Grand Lodge will cease to
get estimates on membership, but accurate data in place of them.

In this connection, I desire to say that my observation has
been that Lodges who employ Grand Lecturers are more prompt
in making returns than Lodges who do not, and almost in every
instance a Lodge which employs a Grand Lecturer shows an in-
crease in membership. I have heard it stated and I believe that
the Lodges who had the services of a Grand Lecturer this year
have doubled or more than doubled their contributions to the Ox-
ford Orphan Asylum. ~

PEE DEE LODGE, NO. 150

In the fall of 1919 Pee Dee Lodge made an appeal for aid
for Bro. F. H. Lilly, a member of their Lodge. Information was
received that Brother Lilly was possessed of property valued be-
tween $10,000 and $20,000. The Grand Master, upon investiga-
tion, ordered the Lodge to turn over to the Grand Secretary the
funds received on account of this appeal, and that they make an
apology to the Craft for this act. This was done and $275.00 was
turned over to me on September 22nd. The following letter of
apology was received:

44 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

* “Norwoop, N. C., June 18, 1920

“W. W. Willson, Grand Secretary N. C. Grand Lodge, A. F. & ©
A. M., Raleigh, N .C.:

“DEAR BRO.

“Pee Dee Lodge, No. 150, wishes to submit the following in
regard to the error we made in our appeal for Bro. Lilly. ’

“First, our sympathy was so very much aroused because of
the misfortune of Brother Lilly.

“Second, we were too hasty in our action.

“And third, we did not investigate as thoroughly as we should
have the financial condition of Brother Lilly. It was not the in-
tention of the Lodge in any way to conceal the true financial con-
dition of Brother Lilly.

“We, Pee Dee Lodge, No. 150, in that we have erred in this
particular case, desire to sincerely apologize to the Grand Master
and all the Masons of North Carolina, and promise that no such
mistake will ever be made again by us. .

“With best wishes, we remain,

“Fraternally yours,
“(Signed) C. J. BLack, W. M.,
“BENJ. F. KENDALL, Sec.”

_. This $275.00 is the item appearing in my financial statement
which has been turned over to the Grand Treasurer for such dis-
position as the Grand Lodge desires to make of it.

BY-LAWS COMMITTEE

Owing to the illness of the Grand Master at the 1920 commu-
nication of the Grand Lodge, no committees were announced. As
there were a number of By-Laws to be passed upon, I requested
Brother Holley to serve the Grand Lodge until his successor was
appointed, which‘he kindly consented to do. He makes the fol-
lowing report of his services:

“T have in my possession By-Laws from Lodges, Nos. 106 and
188 for approval, the committee seal, and file cabinet, awaiting
instruction as to disposal. :

“IT have approved, as Chairman of the Committee for the year
1920, By-Laws and amendments from the following Lodges: 1, 4,
‘7, 82, 40, 78, 104, 117, 208, 279, 282, 319, 372, 378, 386, 388, 395,

636, 638, Victory, U. D.”

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION

This association was organized ten years ago by representa-
tives of several Grand Lodges for the purpose of erecting at Alex-
andria, Va., where he held Masonic membership and served as
‘Worshipful Master, a suitable memorial to Washington, the Ma-
son, and to construct a safe and enduring building in which to
deposit and preserve through all time the magnificent and price-
less relics now owned and in the possession of Alexandria-Wash-
ington Lodge, No. 22.

I attended the annual meeting of the association held at
Alexandria on February 23rd and 24th as one of the representa-
tives of this Grand Lodge. It is a matter of impossibiity for any
patriotic American who is a Mason to attend the meeting of this
association and not become thoroughly interested in this worthy
movement, as the building when completed will not only be a most
magnificent memorial to Washington the Mason, but to the pa-
triotism as well of the entire Craft in America. The temple will
be erected upon a site presented by the brethren of Alexandria-

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA AT

Washington Lodge, No. 22, Shooter’s Hill, which location was
originally selected by Thomas Jefferson for the capitol building
of the United States. It will become a Masonic Mecca for mem-
bers of the Fraternity of every land.

The funds heretofore have been raised from the sale of life
memberships and contributions from Grand Lodges. This fund
has assumed such proportions as to insure the ultimate construc-
tion of the building. The association has over $250,000 in hand
and a title to the site. Organization was perfected at the last
association meeting to reach every Lodge in the United States and
solicit from it an equivalent to $1.00 per capita of its member-
aD Some of the Grand Jurisdictions have already gone over
the. top.

Brethren, North Carolina Masons have not been as much
interested: in this movement as they might have been, and have
not supported with contributions as liberally as have the mem-
bers of other jurisdictions.

Last fall a year ago Grand Master Grady sent out~a cir-
cular letter to the Lodges asking them to solicit from their mem-
bers a contribution equal to 50 cents per capita. It was expected
that the 30,000 Masons in North Carolina would at least contri-
bute to this worthy cause $15,000. The contributions ceased com-
ing in on June 25th. With the hope that further contributions
would come in and swell the amount in hand, the small amount I
had was held on interest until last October when I remitted the
amount in hand to Bro. John H. Cowles, Treasurer of the associa-
tion. The check issued to Brother Cowles was for $959.37, $23.57
\being interest received from the money on deposit, which made the
total contributions from the State only $915.80, this being less
than one-fifteenth of the minimum amount Brother Grady hoped
to raise. I am sure that the reason for this meagre response was
on account of the membership not being fully advised as to the
object of this movement. I feel sure that the organization to se- .
cure this fund will in the near future again put the matter up to
our Lodges and they will be afforded an opportunity of giving
each and every member the privilege of having a personal part
in the erection of this memorial.

In conclusion, I desire to express my appreciation to the
iGrand Master for his kindness and consideration to me as an of-
ficer of this Grand Lodge, as well as a man and Mason. I am
also indebted to my other associate officers of the Grand Lodge
and the Masons of North Carolina for their courteous and broth-
erly demeanor toward me in the discharge of the duties of this
office.

With a heart filled with gratitude to God for His mercies
showered upon the Craft for the past twelve months, and with
love for all of you, I am,

Fraternally,

Grand Secretary.

Creek Lodge, No. 480, which was read and referred to
the Committee on Jurisprudence, as follows:

BENTONSVILLE, N. C., December 10, 1920.

From: The Master, Wardens and Members of Mill Creek
Lodge, No. 480, A. F. & A. M.

To: The Grand Master, Grand Wardens and Grand Custo-
dians of The Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons
of the State of North Carolina.

Subject: Masonic Funeral Rites.

(1) We, the undersigned Master, Wardens and members of
Mill Creek Lodge, No. 480, A. F. & A. M., respectfully petition
the Grand Master, Grand Wardens and Grand Custodians of the
Grand Lodge of the State of North Carolina to rescind the order
of the Grand Lodge of 1918, barring the several. Lodges under the
_ jurisdiction of the aforesaid Grand Lodge from conferring the
funeral rites upon the deceased Brethren at any subsequent time
to the actual interment of the body.

(2) We respectfully submit our motives for the presentation
of this petition: First, we do not desire to abolish the ancient
custom of conferring the beautiful funeral rites and honors upon
our Worthy Brethren when that has been a stated wish before
the demise; and, secondly, under the existing order and owing to
the wide territory which constitutes many of the Lodges in the |
rural sections of the State, it is impossible to assemble the Craft
and open the Lodge for the purpose of conferring the funeral
rites before it is plainly expedient to bury the dead, and

(3) For the reasons aforesaid, we respectfully ascribe our
several names to this petition.

(Unfavorable report—petition rejected.)

The Grand Secretary submitted the following peti-
tion of Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 644, which was read and
referred to the Committee on Finance:

To The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

The petition of Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 644, respectfully
shows: ;

(1) That the charter of Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 518, was
taken up by the District Deputy Grand Master on or about May
\30, 1919, and at the same time, or very shortly thereafter the
then Treasurer of said Lodge paid over to said District Deputy
Grand Master the funds of said Lodge in the sum of $345.75 and
a Masonic Temple Bond, No. 401, for $50.00, which were trans-
mitted to the Grand Lodge, as petitioners are informed and be-
lieve.

(2) That afterwards a dispensation was granted by the
Grand Lodge to certain Masons, who were formerly members of
Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 518, for a Lodge Under Dispensation, and
an organization was perfected thereunder and work done until at
a later date, when a new Lodge was formed and a charter grant-
ed to Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 644, at Postell, in Cherokee Coun-

ty, North Carolina, the charter members of which new Lodge
were all former members of Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 518, and each
of whom was innocent of any connection with or responsibility
for the matters which led up to the arrest of the charter of said
Lodge, No. 518. ;

(3) That Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 644, is now at work and

has had the services of Assistant Lecturer Jeff L. Nelson and its
members are doing their best to comply with all orders made by
the Grand Master and Grand Lodge and are observing the an-
cient customs and usages of the Craft as best they can; but on
account of poverty and the lack of funds the new Lodge is great-
ly circumscribed and is less able to do Masonic work than if it
were possessed of means.
; (4) Your petitioners are the officers of Shoal Creek Lodge,
No. 644, and believe that it would be wise and certainly to the
best advantage of said new Lodge if the Grand Lodge would gra-
ciously donate, or return to said new Lodge the funds of Shoal
Creek Lodge, No. 518, not expended in taking up the charter of.
the old Lodge, to the end that said new Lodge may have funds
for use in Masonic work and benevolences.

Wherefore they pray that an order will be made by the Grand
Lodge for the return to Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 644, A. F. & A. M.,
of such part of the funds taken up from Shoal Creek Lodge, No.
518, as remain, after paying the expenses of the arrest of the
charter of Shoal Creek Lodge, No. 518, and for other relief.

Past Grand Master B. S. Royster read the following
report of the Directors of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, so
much of which as related to finance was referred to the
Finance Committee, and the remainder to Orphan Asy-
lum Committee:

REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF OXFORD ORPHANAGE

To The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

In submitting our annual report, we invite your care-
ful attention to the detailed and itemized reports and
statements of the Superintendent, Treasurer and other
heads of departments of our Institution. These reports
contain much valuable information, which should inter-
est and appeal to every Mason in the State.

At the beginning of our fiscal year we realized that
the unusual conditions confronting us called for our.
most serious thought and best efforts. While we have
not at all times, during the past year, been able to
promptly meet all of the pressing needs of the Institu-
tion, yet the year, taken as a whole, has been among the
most successful in the history of the Institution.

The liberality of the Masons and other friends of the
work has made possible our being able to meet the in-
creasing costs of educating, feeding and clothing the
children, and to these Masons and friends we make grate-
ful acknowledgment for their large share in the success,
which has crowned the efforts of your Directors and the
Superintendent, during the past year.

It will be noted from the reports attached hereto that
every department of the Institution has yielded a profit
and in addition to this profit in dollars and cents there
has been training and experience of great value to the .
children of the Institution.

We have realized for many years the urgent neces-
sity of providing a sanitary dairy and the time has come
when we cannot afford to longer delay the erection and
equipping of this building. The health of the children
must be protected and it is impossible for us to do this
in a proper manner with our present facilities for milk-
ing and caring for our cattle. This improvement will
cost a large amount of money, and we are unwilling to
assume the responsibility of a debt for this work and for
this reason we are bringing it to your attention. We owe

52 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

it to the children to guard them in every possible way
from the dangers incident to contaminated milk. We
shall expect you to make such an appropriation at this
annual communication as will enable us to begin work
at once on this building and push it to final completion at
the earliest possible date.

For a long time we have recognized the importance
of better facilities in connection with the recreation and
play of the children, and it gives us real pleasure to re-
port to you that the Shriners of Oasis and Sudan Tem-
ples during the month of December, 1920, by their liber-
al appropriations have made possible an up-to-date play-
ground, with modern equipment, and the building of a
swimming-pool.. This work will be begun at an early
date and completed before summer. To the Nobles of
these two Temples we tender our most profound grati-
tude and sincere appreciation in thus making happy the
children of the Institution and in contributing so much
to their training and physical development. When this
play-ground and swimming-pool are provided it is our
purpose to suitably mark them as memorials to the
Shriners of North Carolina.

One of the most vital needs of the Institution is a
modern hospital, with ample room and equipment to care
for any emergency, which may arise in the future. For
several years the children of the Institution have passed
through fearful epidemics, which opened our eyes to the
necessity of providing better facilities for taking care
of sick children. These wards and jewels of the Masons
of North Carolina are entitled to receive at our hands
every guarantee possible that they shall not suffer and
die for the lack of a place where they may be nursed
back to health and strength. We call upon the Grand
Lodge to set in motion some plan whereby this hospital
may be provided at an early date. There are some de-
tails in connection with this enterprise, which will be
brought to your attention later on during this session.

We are now caring for the largest number of children
in the history of the Institution; the prospects for lower
salaries and reduced living expenses do not encourage us
to hope for a reduction in the costs of maintenance dur-
ing the coming year, but we are rather inclined to think
that these items will be increased ; and we shall be obliged
to make much needed repairs to the buildings. These

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 53

things make necessary our asking for the following ap-
propriations:

A. total Of s2se shee $ 40,000 00

The legacies mentioned in the report of the Superin-
tendent will not be available for some time to come, and
it will be necessary for us to be assured of the money
with which to carry on your work at the Institution.

We have pleasure in reporting to you that the Super-
intendent and all of his co-laborers are putting into the
work the best efforts of which they are capable. They
are diligent, faithful and efficient, and deserve your
thanks and support.

In conclusion, we indulge the hope that this Grand
Lodge may get a larger vision of the work at Oxford Or-
phan Asylum and that every energy possible be exerted
to place it upon a higher level of usefulness and that its
sphere may be extended until every child, who should be
admitted, may find within its walls a place of refuge.

54 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF OXFORD ORPHANAGE

To the Board of Directors of the Oxford Orphanage:

GENTLEMEN: We have had a very prosperous year.
Never have the people. responded so liberally to our sup-
port. I do not, however, wish to confine the meaning of
this word to a money basis. It has been of a much higher
order and a more valuable asset. It is that prosperity
which is evidenced by a deeper interest among the people -
of the State in the work we are doing. I believe this '
work is more on their hearts than I have ever known it
to be. There is, therefore, a correspondingly deeper de-
sire to save us from financial trouble in these times of
high cost of living, and a most delightful spirit of sym-
pathy with the work that is being done.

We are very proud of the part our boys and girls took
in the great World War in defence of their country.
During the year there were placed on the walls of our
chapel bronze tablets to the memory of two of our
brave boys who gave their lives for their country: Lieut.
Calvin Capps and Sergt. Oliver Howell. These tablets
were unveiled with public ceremonies and intended to
give all honor to their noble deeds.

The health of the children has never been better since
we came through the epidemic of flu, followed imme-
diately by the measles and pneumonia during the early
part of this year. As a result of the weakened condi-
tion two of the children, Breen Harman and Her-

‘mon Stender, caused by this combination of diseases,
were not able to withstand the pneumonia, so we lost
them. It was a great trial to us. They were as good
boys as we had. Being very young, I feel they have
been spared many troubles .and sorrows. It is very sad
for us, however. Under the circumstances, I feel most
grateful that the number was not much larger. This
can only be accounted for by the good and faithful at-
ae of Dr. T. L. Booth and the nurses who cared for

em.

We have paid special attention to removal of tonsils
and adenoids from the children. Our observation of
the benefit of this operation to the mental, physical and I
might say, moral, development of the children is some-
thing astounding. For some years we have been having

GRAND LODGE oF NORTH CAROLINA 55

this done, but become more and more impressed each
year with the necessity for it.

I beg to refer you to Dr. Booth’s report for further in-
formation on the subject of the children’s health. In this
connection, however, I will state that we have replaced
the old beds in our hospital that had served their purpose,
with new single hospital beds and new felt mattresses.

The school work was again very much interfered
with this year on account of the epidemics above re-
ferred to, but in spite of this hindrance very fair prog-
ress was made.

New school desks of the most improved type have
been placed in the school rooms, and all composition black
boards replaced with splendid slate boards. These were
very much needed, as the old boards were just about
worn out. These improvements make our equipment as
good as the best. The report of the Lady Supervisor,
Miss N. N. Bemis, herewith submitted, gives a most in-
teresting detailed report of this department.

The Singing Class has had a most successful year. The
receipts were larger than last year and reached the a-
mount of $41,431.17 net, after paying all expenses. The
concert was very enthusiastically received and we are
indebted to Miss Myrtie Muse for the success the concert
attained. Bro. L. W. Alderman, who has so efficiently
served us aS manager for the past several years, has
made his report, which is herewith submitted and I be-
lieve you will read it with interest.

We have made some progress this year in the social
and recreational life of the children. Our efforts along
these lines have necessarily been more or less restricted,
but we feel encouraged with the results and hope to
accomplish more the coming year.

In this connection I would most heartily recommend
the employment of a physical and play-ground director,
who shall have entire charge of the direction and super-
vision of the children in their play. Also to express the
hope that before the year closes, we may have been able .
' to build an up-to-date, sanitary swimming pool on our
grounds, where the girls as well as the boys may enjoy
the delightful and healthful pastime in acrobatic feats.

Owing to continued bad health Bro. F. P. Bland, who
had served the institution for the past nine and a half
years so faithfully and efficiently, was compelled to re-

56 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

sign. No one knows how self-sacrificing and faithful he
was better than I do. We will miss him greatly. His
influence was a benediction in our work.

Bro. Ivey Allen, who was elected to take Brother
Bland’s position as bookkeeper and treasurer, has entered
upon the duties of his office. His report of the financial
condition of the institution is, indeed, evidence enough of
the position the work holds in the hearts of the people.
Never in its history have the contributions been so
large.

The expenses this year have been very heavy. As
everyone knows, all commodities reached the peak: of
prices, and added to this was the necessity for increasing
the salaries of all of our faithful workers. It will, there-
fore, be impossible to run the institution on the same ba-
sis of per capita cost as we have formerly done.

The report of 'the farm can hardly be expected to be
as flattering as formerly. The high cost of labor during
the planting and growing of the crop, together with the
great decline in value of what has been made, has caused
a considerable difference in the financial report of this
department. The decrease in value of farm inventories
will still further have the effect of raising the per capita
cost, as this account is run into the general maintenance
account. I think, however, the results from the farm in
productivity are fully equal to any of its history.

The shoe shop has a good report, the best in its his-
tory. We feel that this department is a very great help
to the work in more ways than that of making the shoes
the children wear.

The printing office has done a good business, despite
the great handicap of not being able to procure suffi-
cient help in one or two departments. The price of pa-
per has gone abnormally high, being more than double
what it was, and likewise the wages of our employees
have increased nearly as much, therefore our profit from
the printing office has not been as large as heretofore.
In order to prevent a loss of nearly $7,000, we had to in-

‘crease the subscription price of The Orphans’ Friend, .
which we disliked to do, but were forced to increase in
order to meet the rising expenses.

The wood shop has done a good business this year
and the statement of this department will compare most
favorably with that of any former year. This is specially
gratifying because this department has been greatly

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 57

handicapped all during the year for lack of experienced
operatives.

' We have done considerable work in trying to pre-
serve and improve the plant.

After considerable delay in the spring, on account of
not being able to get the work done, we finally let the
contract for painting all the outside woodwork to all the
buildings on the grounds.

The old steam pump in our deep well has been replac-
ed with an automatic, electric-driven pump of one of the
best makes. This pump works very satisfactorily and
saves considerable wastage of water in not allowing the
tank to run over.

It has long been known that the water from our deep
well has considerable lime in it. According to your in-
structions we have installed a water-softening plant by
which this lime is taken out of the water, making it as
soft as spring water. It is very satisfactory and has
proven to save more than half the soap in our laundry;
besides being more healthful for drinking purposes.

A new refrigerator has been placed in the dining-
room department and an automatic refrigerating appa-
ratus attached to the same. This does away with the
use of ice, with its attendant wet conditions, and gives
a cold which is much more sanitary than the old method.

The cement steps, which we were unable to finish last
fall, in front and rear of the cottages, have been complet-
ed. They add very much to the permanency of the build-
ings as well as to their appearance.

A series of kindergarten swings have been placed at
the baby cottage, which add very much to the pleasure
of the little ones there. od AS

The base of each cottage has been beautified by the
planting out of shrubs and evergreens in an effort to
break the bare condition which has always detracted
from the otherwise beautiful appearance of our grounds.

There is nothing more elevating to the life and char-
acter of a child than good pictures. We have, therefore,
placed in all the cottages several very choice selections,
in the hope they may be an inspiration for higher
thoughts and nobler deeds.

We have made an effort, with the advice and sanction
of the Executive Committee, to stop the erosion which
seemed to threaten serious damage to our walks and
drives, and also to protect the children during the wet,

58 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

wintery months from the terrible muddy conditions which
have prevailed in the walks from the cottages to the main
building and dining hall, by putting down some very
much-needed pavements and cement drains on the
grounds. This will be a source of very great protection
to the children during bad weather.

We have received several legacies since our last re-
port, which are as follows:

Bro. R. H. Ricks, of Rocky Mt., made a bequest of
$5,000.00, available at the death of his widow.

Mr. Lewis King, of Trenton, left the Thomasville Or-
phanage and this, institution “Certain property,” but we
do not know the value of the same.

We have received $252.75 from the estate of H. M.
Bizzell, of Dunn, of which no previous notice had been
received. ~

Bro. W. P. Knowles, of Elizabeth City, at his death
left the books in his library to this Institution.

Lieut. Calvin Capps, one of our boys who died in
France, left a legacy of a $500.00 Liberty Bond.

Mr. John Neal, another of our boys, who died in O-
maha, Neb., left an estate in trust with the Wachovia
Bank & Trust Co., of Winston-Salem, worth about
$500,000.00, the income only, to be divided equally be-
tween the Children’s Home of Winston-Salem and the
Oxford Orphanage, this to remain a perpetual trust
fund.

It is quite remarkable that these two legacies, amount-
ing to such a handsome sum, should have been left
by our former pupils. It is a source of great satisfaction
to us, and should impress the public in a way very favor-
able to the work being done in our Institution.

Mr. L. C. Ipock, of Craven County, left a legacy of
about $1,500.00, but this is now in litigation.

We most gratefully acknowledge our debt of grati-
tude to these several friends who so kindly remembered
us.

The cemetery connected with the Institution has
never received the attention it should have had. I feel
condemned for my part in this, but over a year ago I
gave an order for tombstones, but the war conditions
prevented their prompt delivery; however, they have
been delivered and we expect to make the spot, where the
children who have passed over the river now rest, one
of the most attractive places we have.

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 59

The A. B. Andrews Educational Loan Fund has been
a very great help to several of our children, and we now
have four girls at college who will receive help from this
source. We also have one of our young men who is study-
ing for the ministry at Emory University, Ga., who is
being helped by it. This fund is young as yet, but I am
sure it will be the means of giving assistance to a much
larger number in the future.

The epidemics of the past three winters have brought
to us very pointedly the need we have for facilities to
adequately care for our children in cases of this kind.
Our old hospital building will answer for a few cases of
sickness fairly well, but we need more modern equipment
in this department to take care of the situation. I, there-
fore, respectfully suggest that.steps be not further de-
layed, looking to the raising of funds for the erection of
such a building.

Before closing this report please allow me to express
my deep appreciation for the kind consideration and the
spirit of helpful sympathy you gentlemen have always
shown the present management. Also to state that the
Superintendent is very much indebted, for the good work
which has been done during the past year, to the hearty
codperation of the officers and teachers who have assisted
in it. I wish it were practicable to mention them by
name. No institution was ever blessed with a more
faithful and capable corps of workers.

Finally, I do not feel that I should bring this report
to a close without acknowledging the goodness of our
Heavenly Father to us. I, therefore, wish to express our
gratitude to Him and to acknowledge Him as the source
from whence has and will come our help as long as we
trust in Him.

Respectfully submitted,
R. L. BROWN,
Superintendent.

REPORT OF LADY SUPERVISOR OF OXFORD ORPHANAGE

Mr. R. L. Brown, Superintendent, Oxford Orphanage:

Mr. Brown: An attempt to give a complete review
of the many-sided life at the Orphanage would be im-
possible. Even the events of a single day and the prob-
lems handled would require too much space, therefore a
few points of interest will be mentioned in this report.

60 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Several very helpful changes have been made in the
detail management of school, cottage and industrial
departments with the view of lessening the work which
has grown more burdensome year by year along with the
rapid growth of the institution.

In four of the cottages matrons have been placed in-
stead of teachers. Three of these matrons have no oth-
er work but the care of the boys and the cottage, which
is quite enough. This plan gives time for more individ-
ual work among the children—a thing quite nec-
essary to be done where thirty-six are living in one
building.

An assistant for the cook room matron to take charge
of the dining room was a much needed change and has
relieved the overworked ‘matron. The preparation of
such quantities of good, nourishing food as are now
served to the children requires so much time that the
matron cannot attend to serving the food and teaching
the thirty-five girls to do the dining room work in any
satisfactory manner. Domes of Silence placed on all the
dining room chairs have lessened the noise on the com-
position floors quite perceptibly.

The plan of giving the five girls, who help with the
cooking and are on duty at five o’clock each morning,
some remuneration for their services has been very suc-
cessful. The girls are more interested in the work and
more anxious to keep up with their grades in. school.
Needless to say the positions are in demand.

All the girls have opportunities for earning spend-
ing money, and are encouraged to make the effort. Dur-
ing their unassigned time they crochet or make tatting
and dispose of the fancy work at good prices. Many
of the children have bank accounts. Lessons on the
value of money are learned on the shopping excursions
which are of frequent occurrence.

The spirit of giving is also encouraged. In institu-
tion life where everything needful comes with no effort
on their part, children often develop narrow, selfish ten-
dencies which are difficult to overcome. The practice of
taking a collection at Thanksgiving for some charitable
purpose has been observed each year, and all have been
encouraged to give occasionally, according to their
means, at their church services..

Seventy large pictures, copies of famous paintings
and photographs of noted buildings, were purchased in

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 61

January, the teachers and pupils making the selections
if they desired. These pictures have been framed and
hung in all the cottages, and are a source of enjoyment .
to both the teachers and children. ;
Shrubs of the Abelia, Euonymus and Arbor Vitae
have been planted at each cottage. These with the new
cement steps and walks have improved the appearance of
the grounds and added greatly to the comfort and con-
venience of every one. No muddy walks this winter!

SCHOOL

Individual desks have been purchased for all the
class rooms to the great delight of all the pupils. They
have proved a wonderful aid to discipline and have ad-
ded tone and cheer to the rooms. All the classes are
now supplied with the best slate blackboards.

The school was interrupted during February and
March by a second attack of Influenza followed by Meas-
les, but generally speaking the course of study was com-
pleted. The teachers, relieved from the care of a cot-
tage, give their entire time to the pupils and are able to
do better and far more effective work. _

Three girls graduated from the tenth grade in June
and in September entered Junior at the East Carolina
Training School. From the ninth grade one more girl
was sent to the above school and two others started
training at the Park View Hospital. There are now
four girls and three boys in the tenth, twelve pupils in
the ninth and thirty-two in the eighth grades. The
grammar and primary classes are full; the first grade
had an average of fifty pupils all the year. Thirteen
have been transferred from the Baby Cottage, and there
are seventeen in the Kindergarten. :

The practice of spending a certain period of each day
in the assignment of lessons in the grammar and high
school, and giving special instruction in the best method
of preparing and studying these lessons has been con-
tinued. ,

The Domestic Science Teacher was acting as supply
in the kitchen until May and no special instruction has
been given in that branch. In October the classes were
formed and work begun for the coming year.

Progress has been made in Manual Arts. Some ex-
cellent pieces of basketry have been made and the boys
have worked out problems in toy construction. School

62 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

and Sewing room exhibits have been made at the county
Fairs at Oxford and Henderson. : ;

Vocal music has been an important feature of the
school. The lessons started in January and the progress
has been most gratifying. Singing is a universal lan-
guage and has been a popular pastime throughout the
year; all who were interested were invited to spend an
hour after supper learning some old familiar songs. The
number of singers increased so rapidly that it was nec-
essary to divide the class, giving the girls one night,
the boys another and combining the two the last evening.
With the new Assembly Song Books pleasant hours were
spent singing Sweet Afton, Annie Laurie, Robin Adair
and many others. This was done not only for the en-
joyment but to develop the spirit of music, and to bring
out the voices leading up to chorus singing and the for-
mation of a glee club in the near future.

A collection of songs and chanteys has been compiled
from many sources and is now at the Printing Office.
When ready each child will have a copy containing the
words of all the Community songs.

An operetta by the younger pupils was given in the
chapel the afternoon of the 24th of June.

The Library work is on a better basgs. One teacher
has charge and devotes Saturdays to receiving and dis-
tributing books, making suitable selections whenever
necessary. Several sets of books have been purchased
and many donated, including the legacy of Mr. W. P.
Knowles, of Elizabeth City.

The Magazine Club composed of all the faculty fur-
nishes quantities of good reading matter and the read-
ing rooms are open every day. _

The Boy Scouts are developing a spirit of loyalty and
self-government, and a sense of responsibility for the
conduct of others which makes them more and more a
necessary part of the work.

The boys still engage in ’possum hunting and trap-
ping. One boy’s bank account amounted to $50.00 as a
result of his efforts. They play baseball and basket ball,
and take long tramps gathering walnuts, hickory nuts,
mistletoe and flowers in season.

OTHER SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

A Doll Parade took place in May for which prepara-
tions were begun weeks ahead. Prizes were awarded

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA | 63

for the best dressed doll, the girl who marched the best,
and the most attractive float.

In August the girls had a grand trip to Henderson
in automobiles, and in September the boys an outing at
Cheatham’s pond; both given through the kindness of
the people of Oxford.

It has been thought best to let the children attend
the ball games; for the boys to call on the girls at stated
times; to have social evenings with the Philathea and
Baraca classes, and to have special Halloween festivi-
ties. Thus far all these priveleges have not interfered
with school or cottage duties. In fact, pupils have been
more eager to measure up to the required standard. So
we have played and played and sung this year, feeling
that definite planning for the leisure time yielded the re-
sults most to be desired, and that it is a necessary and
vital part of the work for children, to teach them how to

REPORT OF MANAGER OF SINGING CLASS OF OXFORD
ORPHANAGE

Mr. R. L. Brown, Superintendent, Oxford Orphan Asy-
lum, Oxford, N. C.:

DEAR BROTHER BROWN: We feel that the Orphan-
age friends will be interested in knowing some of the re-
sults of the trips made by the Singing Class, during the
year ending October 31, 1920.

The Class was under the direction of Miss Myrtie
Muse, a most capable and willing worker. Ten girls and
four boys made up the personnel of the Class, being
chosen in the most practicable manner from those chil-
dren who had never made a trip before. It has been
found that the trips have valuable educational advantages
for the new group going each year. The child’s horizon
is broadened while he develops poise and usually higher
aspirations are deepened. Life comes to mean more for
them and they usually lead their classes when they get
back into the school work.

It has been very gratifying to note a double effect
from the Class visits. It has the very helpful tendency
to arouse interest in the Orphanage work, calling atten-
tion to the opportunities presented to dependent child-
hood and the needs of the Orphanage in doing this chari-

table work. Then, too, these visits have a splendid in-
fluence and effect upon the Lodges. It has frequently
been stated in our presence that the children in their con-
certs have aroused interest that caused the applications
to be sent into the Lodges. Some of the very best and
most useful men have been brought into the work in this
way.

It was most gratifying to find the happy spirit of
harmony prevailing and healthy activity in the various
Chapters O. E. S. and Masonic Lodges, wherever the
class visits were made during the year. The Class sure-
ly has never received more loyal and enthusiastic sup-
port than was given during the year that has just clos-
ed. The various committees have exhibited unusual ac-
tivity, inaugurating new methods in many places and
putting into practice progressive ideas, that produced
splendid results. Through the educational influences of
these visits the Orphanage cause and the Masonic Lodges
have been greatly stimulated to greater activity toward
helping those who need our aid.

Three trips were made during the year: one in the
spring through the northeastern section of the State;
one in the summer through the western part of the
State and the mountains; while the third was made
through the central or Piedmont and southeastern sec-
tion of the State.

During the fiscal year the Class gave 154 concerts,
from. which the total gross receipts were $46,513.99. On
account of the very high cost of everything, the expenses
seem unusually high, the gross expenses being $5,082.82.
When these expenses are deducted from the receipts we
have the net Class receipts for the institution, which are
$41,431.17. The average proceeds from the concerts were
about $302.35 gross.

The brethren and friends everywhere joined most -
heartily with the children to make the visits not only a
great success but most enjoyable as well. Words fail to
express adequately the gratitude of our hearts for the
spirit of love manifested by so many friends on behalf of
the Orphanage and the Orphanage children.

Respectfully submitted,
L. W. ALDERMAN,
Manager.

The four permanent teeth removed were extracted on account
of crowded arch.

J think I may report that the hygienic condition of the
children’s mouths is better than at any time since they
have been under my care. This we must attribute main-

ly to a more constant and vigorous use of the tooth-brush.
Especially is this true of the girls and also of the boys
under six years of age.
Very respectfully,
T. T. FRAZIER,

Dentist to the Orphanage.

66 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

REPORT OF TREASURER OF OXFORD ORPHANAGE

To the Board of Directors of Oxford Orphan Asylum,
Oxford, N. C.:

DEAR BRETHREN: I have the honor to submit this
my first report, as Treasurer of this Institution, for the
fiscal year ending October 31, 1920.

Coming to the office sometime after the beginning of
the fiscal year, wholly unfamiliar with the work and de-
tails of the office, it has been a little difficult for me to
get hold of the work as I wished, and I would hardly
have been able to have managed it at all,-but for the
’ very efficient help of Miss Bessent, the lady assistant
in the office.

From former reports I see that more funds have
been handled in the office during this, than in any pre-
vious, year. I have tried as far as possible to follow the
plans of my predecessor in keeping the books and re-
cords and have been as careful as possible to keep them
accurate and correct.

The itemized statement of the several departments
I think you will find clear and accurate.

I was not able to get the books closed up in time to
have them audited before your meeting, but will get the
Grand Auditor, Brother Homer Peele, to go over them
in a few days and his report will be included in the
published report.

Respectfully submitted,
IVEY ALLEN,
Treasurer.

All expenditures and inventories have been taken in-
to account in calculating the per capita cost. It is al-
most impossible to get exact values in an inventory, but
taking them as accurately as we could the per capita cost
for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1920, was about
nant per month, for an average enrollment of 362
children. .

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 81

The Grand Master: Brethren: A few years ago there
came into our jurisdiction a young man, a_ stranger,
one who was brought to Masonic light in one of the
Grand Jurisdictions of the Middle West, but who has
shed in this Grand Jurisdiction as bright a light as has
ever emanated from any Mason in its entire life. That
young man possibly came to stay with us for a short
while; but the witchery of that beautiful climate and of
God’s immaculate creation, North Carolina’s womanhood,

has had its effect, and he is now permanently stationed
in North Carolina.

I bespeak for him an attentive and patient hearing,
because he brings to you a real feast of reason. I am
delighted, and feel that my administration has been sig-
nally honored in having the privilege and pleasure of
presenting the Grand Orator of this occasion, Bro. Job
Taylor, of Widow’s Son Lodge, No. 519, of Roanoke
Rapids, N. C.

ORATION OF THE GRAND ORATOR
THE LOST SOUL

By Job Taylor, A.B., S.B., A.M., Ph.D., Master Widow’s
Son Lodge, No. 519, Roanoke Rapids, N. C.

We have gathered here tonight to receive more light, to dis-
sipate the shadows that have hovered over our year’s work, to
gain more inspiration, and to formulate plans for conquering the
future. I count myself fortunate in the knowledge that I am
addressing some of the keenest and ablest intellects of our great
State. Tonight, I have a message; yea, a burning message to im-
print upon your minds, and I feel like the voice of our patron
prophet of old crying in the wilderness, “Prepare ye the way,
make straight the path, for there cometh a spirit, an irresistible
spirit, mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy
to stoop down and unloose.” :

I am voicing audibly the sentiments of a few thoughtful Ma-
\sons, leaders in our order, who have watched our marvelous growth
in numbers. when they ask of our Institution: What of its Soul!
Its Soul! Its Soul! .

It is well for us to pause in our mad rush and take time to
epitomize our past, analyze our present and see what road we
‘must tread for the future. Our Masonic society is noble in tra-
\dition, wonderful in idealism and great in achievement. We are
/ enjoying the fruits of men who have fought, who have bled, and
<who have died, for its honor. A heritage from kings, a gift from
the anointed, a living monument to the self sacrifice and abnega-
tion of spiritual Idealists who have preceded us many millenniums
in the dim twilight of the earth’s darkness. The form or body of

Masonry is comparatively new; but the antiquity of its spirit
spans many thousands of years across the chasm of the ages.

The antiquity of the spirit of Masonry is linked with the
mysteries of the ancient religions. Besides the public worship of
the gods of early civilizations, there was a secret worship parti-
cipated in only by a few select priests who had been prepared. by
a rigid initiation. The mysteries in essense were the pure -wor-
ship of the Infinite as against the polytheism of the popular creed,
and they all contained besides this, under some form, a legend of
/death, resurrection and joy.

The origin of the Egyptian mysteries of Osiris and Isis are
lost in the dawn of history. That their age is great is beyond
question because recent discoveries have shown that during the
pyramid builders of the Fourth Dynasty, some three thousand
‘years, B. C., Egyptian art and culture had reached its acme. The
forms of the religion of this period survived without essential
change to the end. Candidates for these mysteries were the Rulers
and a select number of priests noted for their virtue and wisdom.
The venerable Moses of the Hebrews was versed in this order. The
antagonistic principles of good and evil, light and darkness, life
and death were symbolized and pictured.

The esoteric teachings of the Osiric mysteries held sway for
several thousand years. But when the glories of Egypt began to
fade and the dark ages of her existence set in, her mysteries be-
came honey-combed with form, observance and ritualism, so that
their spirit was choked and the mysteries of Osiris lost its soul.
Its form continued long into the days of the Roman Empire, but
its soul departed for other bodies. .

The mysteries of Mithra were started by Zoroaster, who was
born 660 B. C., to purify and perfect the waning religion of the
Persians. Masonry of today owes much to these mysteries, and
for earnestness of purpose, severity and honesty are not surpass-
ed by any that have come down the dim centuries. These con-
tinued under the Greek sway and entered Rome under Pompey
who ruled from 87 to 48 B. C. In later years the fire of their first
life was quenched. Formalistic accretions loaded down their body;
their spirit was throttled. When the mysteries of Mithra lost
jits soul, its body weighted down with ritualism was killed by a
decree of the Roman Senate in 378 A. D., and that hallowed or-
der of Zoroaster, which had inspired its devotees to glorious at-
tainments for a thousand years, was numbered in the catalogue
of yesterdays.

The same fatal history attended the other mysteries such as
those in honor of Bacchus, or as the Greeks called the God,
Dionysus. These were the mysteries of the Fraternity of the
Dionysian Architects who had a Lodge in Tyre to which Hiram
the Widow’s Son belonged; that same Hiram who became the
chief architect of Solomon’s temple 1000 years B. C. They were
introduced into Greece in 1415 B. C.

The Eleusinian Mysteries lived from 1400 B. C. to the fall of
the Roman Empire in 476 A. D. The Roman Colleges of artifi-
cers was organized in 716 B. C. They grew out of the Dionysian
Society, but became both civil and religious societies and had the
exclusive privilege of building temples and edifices. When the
Roman legions invaded England in 55 B. C. under Julius Cesar,

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 83

they carried with them their college of artificers. In the second
century they came under the ban of Rome and lost their ancient
privileges; but when Carausuis became Emperor ‘of the Britons
fin 286, he restored the ancient privileges. Members of this order
from that time were known as privileged or Freemasons.

In 420 A. D., Rome withdrew its legions from Briton on ac-
count of the barbarian hordes of the East menacing the founder of
her empire. This severed the connection of the Building Corpo-
rations with Rome, and thus the English Freemasons were alone.
In the year 926, the Fraternity of Builders or Freemasons as-
sembled at York and framed the constitution that governed the
English craft for eight hundred years. In 1567 the Masons in
the south of Britain organized a Grand Lodge, and later accepted
members who were neither practical Masons nor architects. These
were men of high culture and attainment and were admitted as
“Accepted Brethren.” This is where we derive the name of Free
and Accepted Masons.

As these societies aged, the spirit of disintegration set in,
when more emphasis was laid on the form instead of the spirit, |
so that in the reign of Queen Anne, 1702 to 1714, the assembling
of the Grand Lodge ceased. Masonry then began rapidly to fall
into decay.

In 1717 there. were but four drooping Lodges left in all the
South of England. These met on St. John’s day, June 24th., in
Grand Lodge at which time the institution was entirely changed.
The body of the old was crumbling and the spirit had left its
casement. The Builders’ Fraternity had lost its soul. These
(brethren in Grand Lodge assembled met the crisis, created a new
form for the departed spirit and gave birth to the Lodges of Spec-
ulative Masonry. From an operative society, which built mate-
rial structures, it became a society devoted to the building . of
spiritual temples not made with hands. Thus was the soul of
Masonry saved in a revival. A new body was formed to catch
the departing spirit of the Builders and our present Masonic Ri-
.tualism was born.

What then does the voice of Formalistic history clamor? The
Egyptian pyramids have sheltered for fifty centuries the mumi-
fied bodies placed there by the tender hands of sorrowing friends.
There the body has waited in state for the soul to return and take
up the old form. But, alas. It will wait in vain. When the
body ceased to function, it lost its soul which joined the spiritual
realities of the universe. There the mummy will rest, silent and
alone, many centuries longer, until the call of the elements de-
livers its dust to the four winds.

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
For dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return.
Enter into the bosom of thy universal Mother,

Such, my Brethren, is the solemn requiem of a body and a mate-
rial form without a soul. ’ =

Let us glance for a moment at the essential principles of our
Institution. First and foremost Masonry professes a belief in
the abstract spiritual principles behind phenomena. This ab-
solute selfhood we call God as the supreme architect of the uni-

84 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

verse in whom all things exist. In this sense Masonry is a reli-
gious institution. It must not, however, be confounded with a sec-
tarian system of faith and worship in the way that Christianity,
Judaism, Buddhism, Zoroastraism or Mohammedanism, are a re-
ligion. Freemasonry is not Christianity nor any substitute for it
or any other faith or creed. It has no scheme of atonement or
redemption from sin. Its religion is simple and general. It is
innate and primary to the fundamental constitution of man. In
other words, it is the abstraction of the primary spiritual princi-
ple of all faiths and is the common ground on which they can
meet. This is the basal structure of Masonry and why the Chris-
tian, the Jew, the Hindu or the Chinese can meet as brothers.
This, too, is why Masonry survives so many wrecks on the ocean
of time. Such‘a spiritual principle is the universal tie which
binds Masons all over the world.

The second great principle is the belief in the immortality of
the soul. Speculative Masonry symbolizes man passing through
the pilgrimage of life. He is first taught to purify his heart.
‘Then his reasoning faculties and intellectual powers are trained
jin the sciences, and when at last his feet come to the end of their
toilsome journey he is taught that he will receive the reward of
his fidelity in immortality.

Thirdly, the great purpose of Masonry is a search for truth.
In its last metaphysical analysis, truth is simply one appearance
of the ultimate reality behind the universe. We are lead, through
gradations to the Great Selfhood, the absolute life, the infinite and
eternal being behind phenomena. Here in this final resting-place,
‘man stands naked before God without mediation. Man is an in-
tegral and essential, unique part of Divinity.

From the direct relation of man to God as a simple unity
comes the grand conception of Brotherhood. Man is linked to
his fellows by a divine chain; and thus Masonic brotherhood flows
from the conscious divinity in each.

Our brotherhood is not based on the selfish principles in

the Trades Unions. It does not rest on the coersive principle to
extract the last dollar for the minimum of service; but rather it
is built upon that sublime foundation of conscious union with
God.
\ All men who come to the knowledge of refulgent divinity
within them recognize each other as one in God. This is the in-
ner shrine of Masonry and the end of all its endeavor. It is the
genetic principle of origin and why men of all faiths are Ma-
sonic brothers in the unity of God.

“T pray for them; I-pray not for the world, but for them
which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

“And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glo-
rified in them,

“TI pray that they all may be one; as thou, father, art in me,
and I in thee, that also may be one in us.”

Thus spoke the Master of Nazareth.

My brethren, many of you have not yet entered this inner-
most shrine. It comes only after much knowledge, thought, de-
votion, and prayer. You can get it by making the sacrifice.

As a corollary from this conception of Brotherhood flow
charity, almsgiving, benevolence, and orphan asylums. These

’

GRAND LODGE OF NorRTH CAROLINA 85

are not primary but secondary. They become an essential and
integral part of Masonic brotherhood from this higher unity.
Charity is then not grudgingly given, because the unfortunate are
recognized as part of the eternities.

Our type of civilization through many centuries of growth
has stored up in our brain a strong unified psychological disposi-
tion of thought and action. This apperceptive synthesis as our
habitual center has been accumulating so long that it is almost
innate in man. This manifests itself as the selfish system of po-
session. It is grasping, self-centered, and so strong in all of us,
that we take it as a matter of course. Real Masonry lifts us out
beyond the pale of temporary systems, and puts us on the high
mountain peak. We look below. There stretched out before us
are the cities of the world. We see their gold, their glamor, their
show. The profane says, They are yours, take them.

Before the Neophyte speaks, he sees a golden light settling
around him. The valleys fade away. The spires of the temples
are lost in the heaps of clouds rolling about. A new world sur-
rounds him. It is God’s dwelling-place. He feels the presence
of the Almighty on his soul. Behold, He is one with God.

The clouds dissipate, and yonder where the cities stood he
sees the widows, the orphans, the helpless, the unfortunate. As
he gazes, he hears the voice of his Creator saying:

, Whatsoever ye shall do unto one of these, ye do also unto
me.

A new light breaks into his soul and there spontaneously
bursts from his lips:

“Ye are my brothers, linked to me as one in God. Take my
coffer. I give to thee not as charity, because ye are mine—of my
flesh, of my blood, of my bone. Ye are one with me in the unity
of God.”

Thus the formula of Masonic Brotherhood is:

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

“This is the first and great commandment.

“And the second is like unto it, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself.’ ”

The great light of Masonry is the Book of the Law. For
Christian civilization, this is the Holy Bible; for the Mohamme-
dan it is the Koran; and for the Hindu, it is the Veda. For the
Chinese it is the book of Confucius.

My brothers, these essential spiritual principles are the soul
of Masonry. This is its life and why its great lights are still
undimmed, even though its soul has traveled through many bodies
on its way to the final East. 7

If this is the soul of Masonry, what is its body? The body
is the method, form, government and ritual used in the Lodge.
This is necessary and essential, for without a casement there could
be no localization of the soul. There must be a form for opening
and closing the Lodge. There must be a material vehicle for pic-
turing and symbolizing the principles of the soul. We must
have signs and tokens by which we may know each other, and the
symbolism of our ceremonies must be concealed from the profane.

But, my Brethren, answer now.

86 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Is due performance of the rites and ceremonies the chief end
of Masonry? Is this the principle we inherited from our ancient
brethren? No! No! No! A Masonic Lodge trembles in the bal- .
ance, and its soul is sleeping preparatory to departing when the
Lodge ceases to teach the pure form of the Supreme Architect.
To live eternally, it must mirror your naked soul upon the radiant
light of God, so you can see the shadows in your own secret life.
It must make clear beyond peradventure, that soon you will stand
on the chasm of the last passing. The slowly, creeping grim reap-
er grinds on, ever coming your way.

“Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while
the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh,

“For the day cometh when the keepers of the house shall
tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grind-
ers cease because they are few, and those that look out of the
windows be darkened. :

“The almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be
a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his long
home, and the mourners go about the streets.

“Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be brok-
en, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken
at the cistern. 3

“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the
spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

“Mors Omnibus Comimunis.”

What then is the present status of some of the Lodges of our
assembly. There has been a great influx of members and the
machinery for putting them through the degree work must be
changed all the time. For several decades class after class has
been learning the ritual, the form and the symbols. They know
it by heart and have spent so much time in parroting its forms
that the substances of the symbols is lost. One class learns it,
and after they have become weary of so much repetition of the
same thing another class takes it up. Some members have not
been in the Lodges for years. In other Lodges the attendance is
dwindling, and there is a general apathy. The members have
lost interest in seeing the same drama played night after night
and their minds have become weary repeating the same formulae
unceasingly. The Lodge has lived in form, become stale, rigid
and unresponsive.

If it were not for the fact that in the heart of some’ of its
members the Masonic spirit dwells, the Lodges would disintegrate.
Masonry will live whether a particular Lodge or a particular in-
dividual grasps its spirit or not. The soul may not inhabit some
Lodges, but it will find a home because it is eternal.

Some men will never experience the real soul of Masonry.
Are you one? Are you? Are you? Such men will build a tonal
istic structure, paint the body, murder the spirit, and leave the
mummy to rot in the grave.

They will do for Masonry what the misguided Shakespeare’s
Othello did, believing that his pure, devoted wife, Desdemona, was
guilty, entered her bed chamber and, as he gazed upon her sleep-
ing form beside the lighted taper, exclaimed:

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 87

“It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul,

Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars.
It is the cause. Yet, I’ll not shed her blood,
Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow
And smooth as monumental alabaster.

Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men,
Put out the light, and then—put out the light!
If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,

I can again thy former light restore,

Should I repent me, but once put out thy light!
Thou cunning’st pattern of excelling nature,

I know not where is that Promethean heat
That can thy light relume.”

I can hear some of you earnest Masons asking by what prac-
tical method can we develop the soul of Masonry so that the mem-
ber Lodges of this Grand Lodge can be one hundred per cent.
efficient. :

The answer is in three ways, by education and active parti-
cipation and devotion, the same as our ancient Brethren did in
all the mysteries through the long trail of seven thousand years.
We need to institute an educational system that will demonstrate
conclusively that the body is but a-vehicle to transmit the soul.

To begin right we must start with the applicant, get his his-
tory and qualifications from birth and determine by a rigid scru-
tiny whether he has the capacity for Masonic right.

Then when he has survived the ordeal of initiation, begins
the real work of education.

We should put in our Lodges from this day a progressive
course of study. We should set aside in each Lodge, one night
per month when nothing else will be done but didactic work.
This educational course should cover the history, the philosophy,
the symbolism, the religion, and the practical ethics. It may take
four or five years of one night per month to cover the subjects.

Our lectures, symbolism and allegories, are condensed and
compact. We must unravel them to the initiate in plain terms.
We must amplify, illuminate, expound, and elucidate all the prin-
ciples and teachings of the obligations, lectures, monitorial work
and philosophy. To do this, in my own Lodge, I have one main
lecture, followed by four short addresses on specific topics devel-
oping a general educational scheme. These latter are given by the
members. In time all the members thus take part, and certainly,
if no one else receives light, the speaking member has a lasting
impression of the topic he has thought out and presented.

In addition to the educational work, there should be meth-
ods followed for the adoration of the Supreme Architect of the
Universe and the spiritual experience of unity with Him. This
communion clinches the intellectual feast and brings the soul of
Masonry from the darkness. With this knowledge and experience
the initiate is equipped to stand against the storms of life, to
disseminate more light and be a potent factor for the regeneration
of man. Then, instead of being only a ritualist as the Pharisee
of old, he will have become a spiritual member of an eternal or-
der.

Those of us who on a summer’s day have stood on the rock-
ribbed coast of the East, have seen the waves of the mighty ocean

88 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

break against the boulders in the bay. We have gazed with won- ~
der upon the seething foam, mountains high, dash above the pro-
montory, and have watched it subside in the tranquil cove. To
understand the power behind those waves, we go to the mouth
of the cove, and there we see losing itself in the distant horizon
on every side crest after crest of the billowy deep. So it is with
our ancient, free and accepted order: its whole history and life
for millenniums are condensed in its legend, its allegory, its ob-
ligations and lectures. The average man simply rests in the tran-
quil cove, but to know its soul we must gaze upon the pages of
‘its glorious past.

"We must have a comprehensive knowledge of Masonry to
live up to its ideal. The history gives us the back-ground, the
motives, and the spirit out of which was born the Craft. The
philosophy teaches us to know the infinite and the universal prin-
ciples of our foundation. The symbolism is a picture method of
portraying the grand truths behind. The religion makes us ex-
perience the Supreme Architect in our souls, and then we will prac-
tice the ethics of Masonry in our daily lives.

. Without the religion Masonry is dead. The adoration of the
infinite, stripped of form and mediation, will keep the soul sen-
sitive, alive and alert! When man walks conscious always of
God in every act, what a new and great force for righteousness
is ours when we follow this adoration.

The human soul yearns to be eclipsed in the bosom of its
Creator. Meditation and prayer in the lonely chambers of solitude
clear the blurred vision of routine life.

What this age needs is a closer communion with the infinite.
The religions of the world are loaded down with priestly obser-
vances, systems of externalities and beliefs; and round about
methods for reaching God. Masonry, in its conception and deep-
er meaning, brings man direct to God without mediation or form.
This is the side that has been neglected and it is the real basal
fact from which all else flows. er

No man can get away from God. He can blur the vision, be
an automaton in his routine habitual life. He goes usually as in
a dream, a sort of comatose: stage through the routine of his
church life, his social and business life. Now and then he faces
the eternities under some great danger, sorrow or trouble. It
is Masonry’s privilege to keep his soul sensitive always if it will
but rise to its ideal.

My brethren, one great sacred principle in this universe is
movement. Change, dissolution and new integrations are going on
all the time. Nothing can remain stationary. It must grow or
decay. We are now beginning to feel the aftermath of the world’s
great cataclysm. A heart of sorrow floated to the remotest parts
of the earth when the shells of Flanders burst on that August
(day. Men by the millions faced death in the twinkling of an eye
They stood on the brink of the precipice gazing into the shad-
ows. The ground gave way and they passed on to the West.
The drums muffled and the bugles sounded the dirge of death!
There is a tomorrow! Ah yes! A tomorrow! A tomorrow!

Those who saw again the light of a day, when the din of bat-
.tle was over, have tested death. They have been melted. in the
crucible and came out of its horror with a living soul. The fire.

GRAND LODGE oF NoRTH CAROLINA 89

of that spirit has circumscribed the world. Life is more earnest,
more real, the humdrum of the old has passed away. The Phari-
saic wall of form and convention has been punctured. Life has
a new definition and it is viewed from a new mountain top. The
back wash of that. wave of spirit has struck our Masonic order.
We must meet it like men. The harrowing days of readjustment
have come. Sinister forces are driving our civilization to a crisis.
Let us buckle to the problem, find its solution, and keep the soul
nurtured by our fathers.

Brethren, my message is yours! The deeds rest with you.
What are you going to do with it? Let no man write across the
body of our glorious institution, “The Lost Soul.” Rather put in
motion before we adjourn our annual conclave the machinery
necessary to emphasize the soul of Masonry in all our Lodges.

_ _ The great heritage and care of our civilization is pure Chris-
tianity. Yet its soul was nurtured by the Sumerian priest of the
inner circle in the fertile valley of the Euphrates, more than sev-
en thousand years ago. Their monotheistic vision was gradually
‘submerged by the ritualistic observance in the polytheism of the
masses. Abram, a Babylonian Priest of Ur, two thousand years
B. C., caught the drowning spirit and created for the Jews a new
body for the lost soul.

For the next two thousand years Judaism had its periods of
decay, renaissance, reform and revival. But as the centuries
clipped off the reel of time, formalism, ritualism, and a multitude
of minute Pharisaic conventions smothered the central spirit, as
the body became hard, rigid, and frozen. Its soul was lost and
about to take flight when the prophet of Bethlehem was born.
The Master caught the lost soul in its passing, fired his con-
temporaries with the new vision, and inaugurated the deepest
spiritual movement that has stirred the world.

The worship of the soul as against the letter’ of the body
brought down an avalanche of prejudice, scorn, hatred and de-
vision on the part of the Ritualists. They lead the Nazarene,
amid the joyous howls of the populace, through the streets of
Jerusalem, out the walls beyond the city gates to Golgotha, the
place of the skull. There he was nailed to a wooden cross and
raised before the tumultuous multitude. See the blood dropping
from his hands. Lo! the Ritualists plant a crown of thorns upon
his brow, and crying loud jeers, Crucify him! Crucify him!

The clouds gather, twilight spreads over the landscape and
the spirit of the Master of Nazareth enters the bosom of the long
eternities! But the tragedy of bigotry tore the lost soul from
Judaism and formed a new resting-place in the hearts of his fol-
lowers watching afar off. : ; +

So today, here and now, in this great revolution of the spirit
of the world, the soul of Masonry stands at the gate which swings
both ways. Yonder is the golden throne of Masonry. The soul
is seated there with gavel in hand. Behold! the gavel falls. The
soul leaves the throne. See it going with faltering step to the
open door. It is on the threshold. It wavers—Wait! My soul!
Wait! Come back! Come back. It waves its head feebly. It is
speaking! Listen! My fate rests in the hands of the gathered as-
sembly! Let them act.

90 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Brethren, what is your answer? I know you will keep the
soul!

I feel a peculiar mood come over me. The shadows are pass-
ing. The veil of the eternities is parting. I can see the disem-
bodied spirits of the ancient mysteries. Behold the front line
of the phalanx. Then is Osiris, there Bacchus, there Zoroaster,
Budda, Mohamet, Pythagoras, Hiram, but leading them all is the
glorified figure, radiant with dazzling light, Christ the anointed.
They are closing around us in a vise-like grip, and with beckoning
finger commanding, “Save the Soul.” It cannot go out the door!
Save the soul!

Some of us are nearing the end of the long trail. The jour-
ney has made streaks of gray sprinkle our temples. The dreams
of the past are becoming realities as night begins to fall and the
shadows gather. The crimson clouds, dotted with golden hues,
roll in heaps where the setting sun melts away into the horizon.
Our hearts rise in ecstacy and we clap our hands with joy, rest-
jing in the resplendent glories of the departed life of day.

So many of us Craftsmen have been leaning on the greatness
{of Masonic antiquity, instead of creating new forces, to display
its soul and make more glorious its laurels of tomorrow.

“Lo, as a dove when up she springs,
Like her I go, I cannot stay;

And think that somewhere in the waste,
The shadows sit and wait for me.”

“I leave this mortal ark behind.”

“Is faith as vague as all unsweet?
Eternal form shall still divide

The eternal soul from all beside;

And I shall know Him when we meet;

“What vaster dream can hit the mood

Of love on earth? He seeks at last
Upon the last and sharpest height,
Before the spirits fade away,

Some landing place, to clasp and say,
‘Farewell! We lose ourselves in light.’”

Past Grand Master Gattis: Most Worshipful Grand
Master, and Brethren: We have listened to the very
able, interesting, eloquent and highly instructive ora-
tion of Brother Taylor. I desire to move that the thanks
of this Grand Lodge be returned to Brother Taylor for
that oration, and that he be requested to furnish to the
Grand Secretary a copy thereof, and that the same be
Si in the records of the proceedings of this Giand

odge.

following report, which was read and referred to the
Finance Committee:

GREENSBORO, N. C., January 17, 1921.

Dr. J. C. Braswell, Most Worshipful Grand Master, and Members
Grand Lodge of Masons, N. C., Raleigh, N. C.:

As chairman of your Executive Committee of the Masonic
and Eastern Star Home, Greensboro, N. C., I have examined all
books and accounts of your Superintendent, Matron, Nurses, Doc-
tor, Surgeon and Secretary and Treasurer, and find all records
and accounts well and correctly kept. -Have verified Secretary
and Treasurer’s books with bank balances, and find same correct.
The Auditor for the Grand Lodge had not audited the books of
the Home for the year of 1920 as yet.

I find our Home in splendid condition; all the old people are
as well as could be expected considering the extreme ages of a great
many of them. The Home is rendering a noble service to the
destitute sisters and brothers of Masons in North Carolina.

The Masons of the whole State should rally to the support
of this Home and make it what it should be to take care off those
aes have applied and will apply for admission as guests of the

ome.

I recommend that the Grand Lodge at this meeting appro-
priate $25,000.00 for permanent improvements for a new build-
ing or the enlargement of the present building and $12,500.00
to the support of the Home, during the year of 1921. I think
the above is the minimum amount that we should contribute to
this institution. Respectfully submitted,

C. M. VaANSToRY,
Chairman Executive Committee, Masonic and Eastern Star Home,
Greensboro, N. C.

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 93

Bro. L. M. Clymer submitted the following report of
the Secretary and Treasurer of the Masonic and Eastern
Star Home, which was read and referred to the Com-
mittee on Masonic and Eastern Star Home:

To the Most Worshipful Grand Master, and Officers and Members
of Tihe Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

The semi-annual meeting of the Masonic and Eastern Star
‘Home was held on January 15th at the Home. The following
‘members of the Board were present: C. M. Vanstory, J. J. Phe-
Inix, J. E. Latham, E. Sternberger, Mrs. Louise Fowler, L. M.
Clymer, of Greensboro, Leon Cash, Winston-Salem, Mrs. Gertrude
Woodbury, Mrs. Emma B. Siler, Siler City, Miss Helen Hoyle,
Charlotte, Mrs. Maude H. Ogburn, Past Grand Matron, Char-
lotte, Mrs. Vallie Cates, Chairman Advisory Committee, Worship-
fui Grand Master J. C. Braswell, by proxy, Mrs. Sallie M. Boett-
cher, by proxy, Bro. W. F. Randolph, Past Potentate of Oasis
‘Temple, Asheville, N. C.

- On motion, Past Potentate Randolph was made Chairman
and Bro. J. E. Latham Secretary of this meeting.

Brother Vanstory, Chairman of the Executive Committee,
made his report, and stated that he had verified the books and
accounts of the Secretary and Treasurer, and compared them -with
the bank books and bank account, and found them correct. He
also recommended that as our rooms are filled to capacity that
we should ask for more room. On motion, the chair appointed
C. M. Vanstory, J. J. Phoenix and L. M. Clymer as a committee
of three to go before the Grand Lodge and ask for an appropria-
tion for a new building or enlargement in accordance with plans
already made of the present building.

It was the sense of the Board to ask the Grand Lodge for
$25,000.00 for building and $12,500.00 for maintenance, as the
Superintendent’s report showed that we have practically all
available space occupied, and many more applications out and
could not be cared for by the present equipment.

The Board admitted one and rejected one applicant at this
meeting. ,

On January 1, 1920, we had 24 guests. We admitted 7 dur-
ing 1920, making 31, but we have had two to die, and one left the
Home, leaving now 28 guests and 9 helps in our family.
We have them from 92 years old down, and 25 per cent. of the
number in the Home have to be cared for as though they were
babes.

We are now carrying $46,500.00 insurance on the plant.

Financial statement is hereunto annexed and made a part

is report.
eR a Respectfully submitted,

L. M. CLYMER,

Secretary and Treasurer.

Our financial standing this year is very much increased, ow-
ing to the fact that we have not been able to do the amount of
repair work that is so badly needed. As you will see our repair
account has stayed in the savings account, on account of high
cost of material and labor. -

Very respectfully submitted,
L. CLYMER,
Secretary and Treasurer.

Past Grand Master Andrews, for Trustees of the
Drewry Memorial Fund, presented the following report,
which was read and referred to the Finance Committee:

DREWRY MEMORIAL GRAND SECRETARY’S FUND

To The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

The Trustees of the Drewry Memorial Grand Secretary’s
Fund beg to make report as follows:

Owing to the report made to the Grand Lodge of 1920, em-
bracing the income received through January 20, 1920, this re-
port will only cover the three-quarters of the year 1920, (April
to December inclusive), and in future years the accounts of this
fund will run with the calendar year. Our report last year show-
ed on hand uninvested $619.45, and our list of investments was
short ten shares of American Telephone and Telegraph Company
‘stock, which we had ordered purchased. The purchase of that

GRAND LODGE OF NorRTH CAROLINA 95

stock at $973.00 for the ten shares of stock ran the fund in debt
$353.55, which fund with the interest on the same we owe to the
Raleigh Savings Bank and Trust Company.

The report of receipts of income from this fund, as shown
by the Custodian’s report as hereto attached, shows net receipts
of $954.97.

We have directed that this be turned over to the Grand Sec-
retary to be applied in payment of his salary as far as it will go,
and annually in the future this plan will be pursued.

We would call attention to the fact that the list of invest-
ments held by the Custodian has been increased by the ten shares
of American Telephone and Telegraph Company stock above re-
ferred to.

For the year 1921 we ask the following appropriations on ac-
count of this fund:

(1) For installment of notes ~_-------_--_- $ 1,000 00
(2) For interest due on notes ~--_---_-_--- 480 00
AL total. 108 iecsec eo tenisee ete eee $ 1,480 00

Also we ask
(3) To overdraft in bank ----------------- $ 853 55
(4) Interest on the same to date ----------_-- 6 78
$ 360 37

Also if the finances of the Grand Lodge will permit, we rec-
ommend that the Grand Lodge appropriate an additional
$1,000.00 to this fund, for the purpose of taking up some one of
the outstanding notes, which the Grand Lodge obligated to do
during the next eight years.

RESUME

(2) Interest on outstanding notes --------- 480 00

(4) Interest on overdraft ~----------------- 6 78
(5) Extra on installments ---------------- 1,000 00

$ 2,840 33

There has been no expense incurred by the trustees either
against the fund or against the Grand Lodge, and the sole ex-
pense has been the Custodian’s commission for past two years,
which are to be paid out of Grand Secretary’s contingent fund.

We estimate that the income from this fund for the Grand
Lodge year ending December 31, 1921, will be approximately
$1,400.00. :

98 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Second Day--Morning Session

WEDNESDAY, January 19, 1921.

The Grand Lodge was called from refreshment to la-
bor at 9:30 o’clock a. m., Most Worshipful J. C. Braswell,

Grand Master, presiding.
Rev. John §. Wood, Grand Chaplain, delivered the

invocation, as follows:

“Our Heavenly Father: We thank Thee for Thy lov-
ing care through the silent watches of the night, and as
we again meet together as a convention we pray that
Thy spirit may pervade all that we may do. Grant, our
Heavenly Father, that all discord may disappear from
our midst, and that the spirit of fraternal love may
dwell in every heart; and that all we may do here to-
day may be done with an eye to the advancement of our
Order and the Glory of Thy Name. We ask it in the
name of the Great Architect of the Universe, Amen.”

The Grand Master: Brethren, -I have here a com-
munication from St. John’s Lodge, No. 3, which I would
like to read to you and to take action on it.

New Bern, N. C., December 30, 1920.
Dr. J. C. Braswell, M..W.’.G. M., Grand Lodge of North Carolina,
Whitakers, N. C.:

My Dear Sir AND BrotHer: Herewith I am enclosing formal
invitation to The Grand Lodge of North Carolina to be present.
and participate in the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of
St. John’s Lodge, No. 3, at New Bern, N. C., in January, 1922.

As part of the arrangement, the following has been suggested:
the Grand Lodge could close up its business in Raleigh Wednesday
night about midnight. A train of sleepers could be at the sta--
tion to carry the members over night to New Bern, arriving about
nine o’clock, when breakfast could be served at the hotel. In the
middle of the day we could serve an oyster roast and about five
o’clock have a buffet supper at Sudan Temple. I have been in-
iformed that at an expense of about $900.00 the Grand Lodge
could carry from 75 to 100 to New Bern and return to Raleigh,
which could include all the Grand Officers, Past Grand Masters
and practically all of the forty-four District Deputies, which would
be a most representative body of North Carolina Masons.

On behalf of St. John’s Lodge, No. 3, A. F. & A. M., I have
the honor to herewith transmit to you an invitation and request to
the Grand Lodge to hold a special communication in the city of
New Bern on Thursday, January 19, 1922, at which time we are
to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the issuing of our charter,
which is dated January 10, 1772, and is signed by Joseph Mont-
fort, Provincial Grand Master for America, which original char-

GRAND LODGE OF NorTH CAROLINA 99

ter hangs on our wall today and under which we are working.
| Except for the original commission issued by Henry Somer-
“set, Duke of Beaufort, Grand Master of the Most Ancient and
‘Honorable Society of Free and Accepted Masons, dated January
14, 1771, constituting him Provincial Grand Master of and for
America, which is owned by the Grand Lodge, this charter is the
oldest Masonic authorization extant in North Carolina, under
which Masonic work is conducted.

Our first Worshipful Master was Martin Howard, then Chigf
i Justice of the Royal Colony, of whom we have recently secured
an engraving, made after a portrait painted by the artist, Copley,
in 1784, showing him as Chief Justice uniformed in his gown and
.wig, one of which we also wish to present to the Grand Lodge, as
an engraving of a Colonial Mason, who held ai high office, passing
upon the property and lives of the citizens, and was one of the fra-
ternity, and on a level with its members.

Further I call to your attention the fact that St. John’s Lodge,
No. 3, (originally warranted as St. John’s Lodge, No. 2), was the’
first Lodge chartered by Joseph Montfort, of Halifax, North Car-
olina, Provincial Grand Master of and for America, it being ante-
dated only by St. John’s Lodge, No. 1, at Wilmington, and Royal
White Hart Lodge, No. 2, at Halifax, who held their charters
direct from Grand Lodge of England, on whose rolls St. John’s
Lodge, No. 1, was originally No. 213, and Royal White Hart
Lodge was originally No. 403.

While our charter dates back a century and a half—more
than four years before the Independence of the Thirteen Ameri-
can Colonies on July 4, 1776, and on its rolls are many distin-
guished citizens and Masons, including Past Grand Masters Rich-
ard Dobbs Speight, Alonza T. Jerkins and Charles C. Clark,—
we intend to hold this Sesqui-Centennial not alone in commemo-
ration of these distinguished men and Masons, but more so in
commemoration of what Masonry has achieved in North Carolina,
as well as in our own community, which is but an earnest of the
work that is before the Masons of our State, and to which they
have so magnificently measured up in recent years.

With sincere kind regards, I am

Fraternally yours,
W. P. JoNEs, W. M.

Master of St John’s Lodge, No. 3, A. F. & A. M.

Resolved, That St. John’s Lodge, No. 3, A. F. & A. M., here-
by invites. The Grand Lodge of North Carolina to hold a special
communication in the city of New Bern on Thursday, January
19, 1922, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the granting
of the charter by Joseph Montfort, of Halifax, North Carolina,
Provincial Grand Master of North America.

100 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Past Grand Master Andrews: I move, sir, that the
invitation of St. John’s Lodge, No. 3, for this Grand
Lodge to hold a special communication on Thursday,
following the Grand Session of this Grand Lodge in 1922,
at New Bern, be accepted, and that the Grand Officers

attend.
The motion was seconded by Grand Secretary Will-
son, and was carried.

Bro. W. P. Jones, of St. John’s Lodge, No. 3:- Most
Worshipful Grand Master and Brethren of the Grand
Lodge: I have been delegated by St. John’s Lodge, No.
3, to present to this Grand Lodge the engraving of Mar-
tin Howell, who was the first Master of St. John’s Lodge.

It is my great privilege and sincere pleasure to present to’
The Grand Lodge of North Carolina on behalf of St. John’s Lodge,
No. 8, of New Bern, North Carolina, an engraving of Martin
Howard, who was its first Worshipful Master, having been so
named in the dispensation dated January 10, 1772, with request
that the Grand Lodge would preserve this picture..

It is well known to the student of Masonic history that Free-

masonry in North Carolina dates back to the Grand Lodge of
England in March, 1754, chartering St. John’s Lodge, No. 218, at
Wilmington on the Cape Fear river, (which became St. John’s
Lodge, No. 1), and in August 21, 1767, chartering Royal White
Hart Lodge, No. 408, at Halifax, (which became No. 2, of Nortn
Carolina) following which on January 14, 1771, Henry Somer-
set, Duke of Beaufort, then Grand Master of England, issued a
commission to Joseph Montfort, then the Treasurer of the upper
\half of the Royal Colony of North Carolina, constituting him
[Provincial Grand Master in and for America.
i The first exercise of his authority by Joseph Montfort, Pro-
vincial Grand Master in and for America, seems to have been
January 10, 1772, granting of the charter to St. John’s Lodge,
No. 2, at New Bern, then the capital of the Royal Colony of
North Carolina.

Tonight, as we speak, the portrait of Joseph Montfort, se-
cured through the untiring efforts of our deceased Brother Harry
W. Gowen, then Master of Royal White Hart Lodge, No. 2, looks
‘down upon us with seeming approval and satisfaction that Al-
mighty God has so prospered Freemasonry, especially in our State,
and also that the first Lodge he chartered is nearing its century
and a half of continuous existence. This being the first Lodge
chartered by Joseph Montfort was then known as St. John’s: No.
2, to distinguish it from St. John’s Lodge (No. 1), at Wilmington,
was one of the ten Lodges that united in the formation of the
Grand Lodge of North Carolina at Tarboro in 1787, and the No.
3 was then assigned as it was the third oldest Lodge of North
Carolina, and besides the other two Lodges held their charters
direct from the Grand Lodge of England, while this was held from
its Provincial Grand Master.

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA . 101

Unfortunately the early Masonic records of North Carolina
have been widely scattered and lost and today, with the single ex-
‘ception of the commission of Joseph Montfort, (preserved so
carefully by the Grand Lodge), the charter of St. John’s Lodge,
No. 2 (which our Worshipful Master has brought with him),
<a any other Masonic authority or-writing in North Car-
olina.

Considering the dates, 150 years ago, when the Treasurer of
the upper half of the Royal Colony was the representative of ‘the
Grand Lodge of England, it was natural, in the establishment of
new Lodges, that he should look to and associate with him oth-
ers in authority, hence we find that as a First Worshipful Mas-
ter of St. John’s Lodge, No. 2 he names in the charter Martin
Howard, then the Chief Justice of the Colony, and presiding over
lits courts. ;

Chief Justice Martin Howard was presumably born in Eng-
land and came to America with his father, Martin Howard, Sr.,
who was admitted as a free man in the Colony of Rhode Island
on May .3, 1726. We learn that the son was one of the commis-
sioners at a conference of the Colonies held at Albany, New York,
with the representatives of the Six Nations in June, 1754, and as
his wife died in 1758, aged 59 years, it was reasonable to sup-
pose that he was a few years older, which would place the year
of his birth between 1690 and 1700. At Newport, Rhode Island,
where he lived, he practiced law, was librarian of the Redwood
Library three years, and an active and influential member of
Trinity Church, the established Church of England.

In August, 1765, his house was burned because of opposition
to the Stamp Act, which manifested itself there in that way,
while in our own State at Old Brunswick on the Cape Fear river
below Wilmington the patriots contented themselves with merely
destroying the stamps. On July 26, 1766, while on a visit to
England, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Colony of North
Carolina and in January, 1767, came to the Colony and qualified .
as Chief Justice on the 23rd of that month. About this time he
made a visit North and while in Boston had a portrait painted
\by Copley, the famous artist, from which portrait this engraving
\was made. It is tradition that the portrait was painted at the
|time of his second marriage, which was to Miss Abigail Green-
lleaf. As Chief Justice he held the courts of the Colony at. New
‘Bern, Halifax, Edenton, Wilmington, Hillsboro, Salisbury, his as-
sociates being Judges Richard Henderson, of Granville, and Mau-
rice Moore, of Wilmington. ;

In 1771 he presided at Hillsboro in the trial of the 14 priso-
ners, indicted for treason growing out of the Battle of Alamance,
when the Regulators made resistance to the extortionate taxes
and fees of the Crown officials. :

In 1773, the Legislature refused to appropriate money to the
courts and that year they practically closed. Being out of touch
with the people, considering his English birth, it is no surprise
to know that he sided with the Crown against the Colonies, and
in September, 1777, the Chief Justice of the State was exiled and
banished by the Courts of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of Craven
County, which was composed of the Justices of the Peace of that
county. He sailed for New England and in 1778 returned to

102 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

England with his family and made his home in Chelsea in the
County of Middlesex where he died November 24, 1781.

Such is a brief sketch of the life of Chief Justice Martin
Howard, first Worshipful Master of St. John’s Lodge, No. 3, at
New Bern, whose picture that Lodge now presents to the Grand
Lodge, in the hope that pictures of other Colonial Masons may
be given to it, and placed in the company of Joseph Montfort at
no distant date in the future.

Coming historians will chronicle the facts of his life, and
truly and accurately record the events of that time and people,
which your speaker cannot do. :

Pictures teach history just as much as the printed page.

Today, when we are approaching the one hundred and fif-
tieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence on July 4, 1776, we look at the English Nation and people
very differently from what our forefathers did then and what
our forefathers did only fifty years ago. Only three years ago,
‘when the World War was being brought to a close, vanquishing
‘the Kaiser and his cohorts, there were ---.-------- million ,men
sunder arms in the victorious Allied Army, who had fought such ,
bloody battles as Vimy Ridge, Verdun, Montfaucon, St. Mihiel and
a host of others too numerous to name.

American soldiers, under arms, with battle flags and Na-
tional colors flying, bands playing “Yankee Doodle,” en route
to the bloody battlefields of France, marched through the streets
of London, they were met with hearty cheers and applause, min-
gled with tears of joy that the needed aid to win the war had at
last arrived. How different one hundred and fifty years ago.

That victorious army contained two million English-speaking
Americans, not to mention the English-speaking Canadians, the
English-speaking Australians, the English-speaking New Zeal-
anders, nor the English-speaking East Indians before we men-
tion the British soldier of the English nation itself. After that
dedication of the English-speaking: people to the cause of putting
down absolutism and militarism in its worst and most tyranni-
‘eal form, a dedication so consecrated with the terrible loss of life
{to every nation in that war, our boys, the sons of my neighbors
and of your neighbors, we English-speaking people, differ as we
will and must at times, we as nations will never again make war
on each other. Truly, in history it will stand like the rainbow in
the sky that was a promise by God unto Noah that he would not
again send a flood to destroy the people of the earth, so it will be
a pledge that the Anglo-Saxon .English-speaking people, having
a common heritage in its King James Bible, its traditions, his-
tory, literature, and living, will not quarrel among themselves,
but each will aid the other in making the world a better world for
all time to come, and for all the people who live in it.

The Grand Master: On behalf of the Grand Lodge
of North Carolina, with a sincere sense of appreciation,
I accept that picture of the illustrious Master of St.
John’s Lodge, No. 3, the first Lodge commissioned by the
immortal Montfort. I accept it as a link binding the
past with the future. I thank you, sir, very much.

I have here another communication from the Royal
be Hart Lodge, from Halifax, N. C., which I wish to
read:

HALIFAX, N. C., January 15, 1921.

To The Grand Lodge of Masons of North Carolina, in the Meet-
ing Assembled at Raleigh, N. C.:

DEAR BROTHERS: At a meeting of Royal White Hart Lodge,
No. 2, Halifax, North Carolina, after due consideration, it was
unanimously agreed that our old Lodge building was sadly in
need of substantial and necessary repairs. In response to the
above, it has been reported to the Lodge, that it will require be-
tween two thousand and twenty-five hundred dollars to make the
necessary repairs, and restore the old building to something like
the, original condition.

All told, the membership of R8yal White Hart Lodge, No. 2,
is 41, none of them wealthy, and it will be very difficult to raise
the necessary amount among its own members. So after mature
consideration, the Lodge, hesitatingly, decided to apply to your
body for liberal donation as you, see fit to grant us for that pur-
pose. Although our membership is small, and badly scattered,
s;we have never before, since the institution of our Lodge in 1767,
solicited aid from outside the Lodge, but in the meantime we have
hlways donated to all charitable requests that have come to us,
as liberally as we could. The history of Royal White Hart Lodge,
No. 2, is familiar and dear to every Mason in this State. Your
body has now in its possession (the property of this Lodge) a most
valuable document, to-wit, the original commission issued to Jo-
seph Montfort, as Grand Master of America, (the only man who
ever had this honor), Joseph Montfort being at the time commis-
sion was issued to him Master of Royal White Hart Lodge, No. 2.
, We believe it will meet with the approval of every Mason in
the state for your body to grant as liberal a contribution as in
your power lies. We feel that we are asking this aid, just as one
Brother would ask another, and we hope your body will give our
request earnest and careful consideration.

. Respectfully submitted,
J. A. DICKENS,
Worshipful Master.

W. F. COpPEDGE,
Secretary.

104 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Bro. R. C. Dunn: I presume that this resolution will
come to the Finance Committee. Speaking to that, how-
ever, I would personally be very glad to see the resolu-
tion adopted and some aid given to Royal White Hart
Lodge. Situated in a town of historic interest itself,
there is no Lodge in the State that holds greater Masonic
interest than Royal White Hart Lodge. Just outside.
the door of this Lodge lie the remains of Joseph Mont-
fort, to whose memory was paid honor, you will recall,
about ten years ago at Halifax. These brethren in talk-
ing of this matter say that they do not wish the Grand
Lodge to bear the entire expense. It is not a question of
lack of interest on their part, but a lack of funds. Most
of the membership of this Lodge is composed of clerks,
young boys on salary. Halifax is not a thriving town,
and the members of this Lodge are not wealthy. I be-
lieve the Grand Lodge should take a pride in the preser-
vation of this Lodge, the oldest Lodge building in the
State and one of the oldest Lodge buildings in the Uni-
ted States; and I sincerely trust that the Finance Com-
mittee will report favorably on this proposition, and that
the Grand Lodge will contribute to this great cause, to
the preservation of Lodges of interest. The Lodge room
itself is of interest. The velics that are there, the chairs
and furniture in the Lodge are all of peculiar interest to
those who have Masonry and _ the best in Masonry at
heart; and I believe the Grand Lodge should take a pride
in it, and they would make a mistake in not seeing that
every effort is made in preserving this Lodge room and
all furniture. I trust the Finance Committee will ap-
prove this resolution.

The Grand Master: This communication from Roy-
> irae Hart Lodge is referred to the Finance Com-
mittee.

Past Grand Master Andrews submitted the follow-
ing report of the Masonic Temple Committee, which was
read and adopted:

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

The Masonic Temple Committee herewith submits its annual
report for the year 1920, which, however, covers only the nine
months ending September 30th, the fiscal year being changed
from the calendar year to this date for the convenience of the
Grand Secretary, who is secretary of the Masonic Temple Con-
igs Company for convenience in handling the business
affairs.

GRAND LODGE OF NorTH CAROLINA 105

During the past year all of the offices in the Temple have
been continuously occupied and the rent received has been at a
satisfactory rate.

Hereto attached to the report is the detailed audit of Bro.
Charles N. Goodno, of Raleigh Lodge, No. 500, certified public ac-
a whose audit is hereto attached and made a part of this’
report.

The Grand Lodge of 1917 (page 159 to 164) directed a refi-
nancing of the. investment of the Grand Lodge in the Masonic
Temple, for which it largely held stock, and the surrender of that
stock and the Masonic Temple Construction Company to issue
therefor the second mortgage bonds now in the treasury, aggre-
gating practically $30,000.00, and three notes of $7,500:00 each.
Owing to various matters this readjustment of the balance sheet
has never been carried out until this year. The Grand Lodge, up- -
on recommendation of this committee, provided that these bonds
and notes should bear interest from the dates the original pay-
ments of $7,500.00 annually were made, which date then annual-
ly commencing in 1910. Upon attempting this readjustment we
find that the accumulated interest will be so heavy that we rec-
ommend to the Grand Lodge that these notes and bonds bear in-
terest only from the 1st day of January, 1917, the date the re-
arrangement of the balance sheet was to date from. According
to this plan we have rearranged our debt as is herein later ex-
plained. ;

On December 1, 1920, the first mortgage indebtedness of
$5,000.00 fell due, which we renewed for one year at 6 per cent.,
as we thought it was wisest to extend existing paper even at as
large amount as that instead of borrowing in small amounts from
other parties.

Our debt one year ago, as shown by our report (1920 pro
ceedings, page 116), was as follows:

First mortgage bonds --------------------- $ 5,000 00
Second mortgage bonds -------------------- 80,100 00
Notes payable _--------------------------- 12,000 00

TOtA) .cJiceoncoseedeedewsbetec co ewe! $ 47,100 00

During the year we reduced our indebtedness by paying $3,-
000.00 on our notes, which leaves our indebtedness at that time,
$44,100.00. To the above must be added the bonds and notes is-
sued in lieu of part of the stock held by the Grand Lodge which
are as follows:

Second mortgage bonds -------------------- $ 30,000 00
Notes payable ---------------------------- 22,500 00
Accrued interest on second mortgage bonds - 4,500 00
Accrued interest on notes ~---------------- 4,218 75

To which add the present mortg. indebtedness 44,100 00
Gives’ «........----=++-+---=~-------------== $105,318 75

Debt on the Temple, of which amount the public holds $44,-
100.00, while the Grand Lodge holds $61,218.75 evidenced by
$30,000.00 of bonds, $22,500.00 of notes and $8,718.75 unpaid in-
terest.

106 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

. The report for the year 1921 to be made to the Grand Lodge
of 1922, will show a full calendar year of twelve months, in-
stead of nine months as at present, owing to the business year
changing from December 31st, to September 30th. The Grand
Lodge should know that through all the years of the Temple’s
building and operation no member of the Temple committee has
ever received compensation for his services.

To The Grand Lodge of North Carolina, A. F. & A. M., Raleigh,
North Carolina:

GENTLEMEN: As requested, I have audited the books of the
Masonic Temple Construction Company for the nine months end-
ed September 30, 1920, and herewith submit statements of the
' operations for that period. These statements are similar to
those contained in my report of last year.

Pending an adjustment of the rates, no rents have this year
been charged for the use of the Lodge Room although $373.00 has
been received from this source, viz: Hiram Lodge, No. 40, $78.00;
Raleigh Chapter, $153.00; and Raleigh Commandery, $142.00.

In 1917 the Temple Committee recommended a plan for re-
financing under the terms of which the Masonic Temple Construc- -
tion Company is to issue to the Grand Lodge 4 per cent. Second
Mortgage Bonds in the amount of $30,000.00 and 5 per cent. notes
in the amount of $22,500.00. These liabilities and accrued inter-
est on them from January 1, 1917, have been taken into my state-
ments, although they have not as yet been entered upon the books.

Respectfully, .

Resolved, That each Lodge or its Secretary, who shall file
the annual returns of that Lodge and pay its Grand Lodge dues,

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 111

Past Grand Master Cotten presented the following
report of Board of General Purposes on the Grand Mas-
ter’s address, which was read and adopted and referred
to the various committees as indicated:

To The Grand Lodge:

The Grand Lodge of North Carolina is greatly to be congrat-
ulated upon the brilliant address of your Grand Master. The
address is in fine taste, concise, strong and comprehensive. We
commend him; for giving us just those suggestions which are
needed, encouraging and helpful. The account he gives of his
year’s service and activities, is in such clear form that but little
piciaoae can be said by those whose duty it is to make report
upon it. ‘

: We recommend that so much of the ‘address as rdfers to:
' 1. Charters: Be referred to the Committee on Charters
and Dispensations.

2. We commend the Grand Master in his recommendation
{that Lodges be required to employ Lecturers or produce certi-
ficates of proficiency and that this recommendation be referred to
the Committee on Jurisprudence.

8. That so much of the address as refers to the George
Washington Memorial Association be referred to the Committee
on Finance.

4. That the matter in re Harnett and Coats Lodges be refer-
red to the Committee on Jurisprudence.

The Grand Master is to be commended for making his ad-
dress brief and pointed, as it will be more easily read and com-
prehended by the Craft.

Respectfully submitted,
JOHN W. COTTEN,
J. T. ALDERMAN,
S. M. Garris,
Board of General Purposes.

Bro. A. S. Holden presented the following amend-
ment to the Code which was read and referred to the
Jurisprudence Committee:

3 AMENDMENT TO THE CODE

Resolved, That Regulation 171 be changed to read as follows:

Effect of Removal From Jurisdiction: A North Carolina
Lodge, having jurisdiction over a profane or having rejected a
petitioner, loses jurisdiction over him only upon his removal to
‘another State, and in his efforts to become a Mason he must be
‘governed by the law of the latter jurisdiction. .

(Failed to pass.)

Bro. Leon Cash, Chairman of Committee on Necrol-
ogy, read the following report, which, on motion of
Bro. C. M. Vanstory, was adopted by a rising vote as a
tribute to our distinguished dead: ;

112 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Brethren of the Grand Lodge:
“The days: grow shorter, the nights grow longer,
The head stones thicken along the way;
And life grows sadder, but love Aco stronger,
For those who walk with us day by day.

“The tears come quicker, the laugh comes slower,
The courage is lessened to do and dare;

And the tide of joy in the heart falls lower,
And seldom covers the reefs of care.

“But all true things in the world seem truer,
And the better things of earth seem best,
And friends are dearer as friends are fewer,
And love is all, as our sun dips west.”

Your committee on Necrology could earnestly wish and fer-
jvently pray that its task might have an end, and that it might
cease to write the story of the Brethren who have left us for that
other side which we hope will be ours when we have passed the
‘portals we call Death, but which is really the Gate of Life. But
our task is never done; our story has no concluding chapter. Each
year we are called upon to write what seems to us the final chap-
ter for many well-beloved Brethren; yet, if we believe the sure
but simple faith upon which our Order is founded, we must ac-
knowledge that this life is but preliminary to a larger, fuller,
richer life beyond. Such a faith is satisfying. It has raised up
the great moral and spiritual heroes of all the Christian ages.
It has enabled them to be strong in life and serene and unafraid
in death. May it be ours. : ;

We shall not approach the end with dread and apprehension,
for Freemasonry not only teaches us the highest ideals of this
life, but prepares us for the life beyond the grave. Many of us
have stood in the presence of death when a strong man, stricken

G-L—8

114 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

in the prime of life, had been suddenly called to meet his Creator.
And as we stood there, with the heavens above us and the dark-
ness creeping in from below, with the rays of the setting sun
glistening on the hills, we thought of the mystery .of life and the
still greater mystery of death, the mystery which has been the
great unsolved problem since the birth of man.

Wise men of all ages have speculated on the life beyond the
grave, but it is given to none to lift the veil which overhangs the
portal of the unseen world. What happens after death and
‘whither the spirit wings its flight is beyond our understanding,
but our teaching at the altar of Freemasonry has been faith in
God and hope in immortality, and with such faith we have no
doubt of the perfect realization of our hope when we shall be
cut down by the all-devouring scythe of Time and gathered into
the land where our fathers have gone before us, and where friend-
ship and love are unchanged and eternal.

The heart-searching question of the patriarch Job: “If a
man die, shall he live again?” is answered not only by the declara-
tion of Christian faith, and by the certain consciousness of im-
mortality in the Christian heart; but also by the confident words
of those who, ere they fare forth upon the, to them, untrodden
road give true and faithful testimony that all is well. Standing
in the shadow-land, where that light that never shone on land or
sea breaks upon their enraptured vision, they realize that—

“Beyond this vale of tears

There is a life above,

Unnumbered by the flight of years,
And all that life is love.”

At the beginning of this year of grace 1921, we have abun-
dant reason to be extremely thankful for the gracious protection
of a merciful Providence. The number of deaths reported from
our Sister Jurisdictions is about half that of the previous year,
and among the list of the present and past grand officers of our
own Grand Lodge, there is only one vacant chair, that of the
\Grand Auditor, Brother Gowen. We have been spared the an-
xiety and tragedy of war. We have escaped the destruction which
wasteth at noonday and the pestilence that walketh in darkness.

But many plain Master Masons, the righteous of many com-
munities, have passed from our ranks and joined the Lodge
Triumphant. We shall not again in this life see their genial faces
nor hear the voices we loved full well, but our faith holds out to
us the hope that our separation is not for eternity, and that in
God’s own good time, it will be our inestimable privilege to meet
them again. While we mourn their departure, with those who
were united to them by ties nearer and dearer than those of our
Order, let us not doubt that God has a father’s pity toward us
and that in their removal He is still loving and kind.

Then let us pause in annual communication for a moment
with bowed heads in remembrance of those who have worked
with us for a little while, but now have gone to meet and greet
the great host of brethren who have entered into the higher and
nobler life. It would seem almost as if our better thoughts and
sympathies were charms by virtue of which the soul is enabled to

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 115

hold some vague, mysterious intercourse with the spirits of those
whom! we loved in life. We leave our floral tributes to mark their
last resting-place, and inscribe their names on a page in our re-
cords, but their kindly acts and worthy deeds are forever inscrib-
ed on the tablets of our hearts. If by faith we could build a
‘bridge across the gulf which all must pass, then it may be that
the action that we take today may be known to our departed
brethren. :

; The lesson of their lives is before us. May we incorporate
in our own lives the best principles which actuated them when
‘living, and by our own lives create monuments to their memory
\more enduring than marble or bronze. The men we loved lie in
‘their tombs, but gloriously worthy; and their spirits yet live in
\us with authentic life. Could each here vow to do his little task
as the departed did their great one—in the manner of a true
man—not for a day, but for eternity; to live as they counselled,
not weakly and half-heartedly, but resolutely and whole-hearted-
ly, then each one could truly say—

“When I am: gone,
And other men are trying where I tried
To stem the billows of life’s rushing tide,
If those who know me best may pause to toss
From memory but a rose upon the moss,
And say, ‘He strove with earnestness of heart
* To do whatever was his given part,’
Then will I not have lived entirely vain,
And dying, will have left a sweet refrain—
When I am gone!

“When I am gone, ;

If some true man, or buoyant-hearted soul,
May stoop beside my grave to read the scroll,
And reading, think of how I cheered the weak,
And helped the sick and weary climb the bleak
And jagged stones to rest and hope anew,

Or shielded aught from stormy winds that blew,
Then will my living have been right, indeed;
Replete with greatness, in a world of need—
When I am gone.”

LEON CASH,

REPORT OF REPRESENTATIVE TO THE MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

As the only representative to this Grand Lodge present at
the meeting of the Masonic Service Association of the United
| States of America, which met in the City of St. Louis, on No-
\vember 9th and 10th, 1920, I desire to make a report of the
proceedings. Owing to the very full and complete report made
by your representatives last year, only a brief report is now
necessary.
|. The meeting was largely attended, twenty-eight member juris-
dictions being represented by from one to five representatives, a
number of representatives being present from jurisdictions which
have not as yet become members.

The reports of the Executive Committee and other officers of
the association of the work done during the year were read and
discussed. This work consisted largely of organization and the
presentation to the Association of plans for the coming year,
the objects of the Association being of such variety and wide
scope that it seemed to be the concensus of opinion of represen-
tatives present that the foundation of the work be laid slowly
but surely. It was, therefore, determined that the work for 1921
be directed mainly along éducational lines, holding itself ready
by organization to promptly and effectively carry out the object
of relief, should occasion demand.

Carrying out this idea of education, a Central Bureau has
been established. This Bureau has been equipped to gather in-
formation from all available sources, and is now in position to
conduct. such investigation as the various Grand Jurisdictions
may request. This means the preparation of pamphlets, films,
and eventually books, all suited to the needs of the Grand Lodges
and individuals who desire to pursue study along Masonic lines.
The first work, however, which is planned contemplates arousing
the Fraternity to a realization of its obligation to serve civiliza-
tion. To secure a realization of this plan, provision must be made
for competent leaders. The Association realizes that this can
best. be done by the various Grand Jurisdictions who compose the
association, it being the function of each Grand Lodge to or-
ganize these leaders, provide for their training, and arrange with
the Lodges for Masonic service meetings. It will be the function
of the Masonic Service Association to prepare and furnish the
material for these speakers, leaving to the discretion of each
Grand Lodge all of the details of its use, the object of the asso-
ciation being to render service to the Grand Lodge when re-
quested so to do. ee

A number of plans already in operation in some of the Grand
Jurisdictions were presented for consideration, outlines of which
|have been printed in an abstract of proceedings of the meeting,
and a copy of which will be sent to each Lodge in North Carolina
shortly after the adjournment of this Grand Lodge.

The following resolutions were unanimously adopted:

RESOLUTION OFFERED BY P. G. M. TRAVIS, GEORGIA

“Wuereas, In Masonic belief man’s love of man is, next to
love of God, man’s first duty, and

118 _ PROCEEDINGS OF THE

“WHEREAS, Masonry teaches the practice of charity and be-
nevolence, the protection of chastity, respect for the ties of blood
and friendship, reverence for the principles and sacraments of
religion; teaches to assist the feeble, to guide the blind, to raise
the downtrodden, to shelter the orphan, to guard the altar, to
support the government, to encourage wisdom, to inculcate mo-
rality, to promote learning, to love man, to fear God and implore
His mercy and to hope for happiness and immortality, and

“Resolved, That the activities of the Masonic Service Associa-
tion of the United States during the coming year continue to be
primarily dedicated to a program to be presented through appro-
priate bulletins elaborating the precepts of the Brotherhood of
Man in term's of present day problems and needs, and designed to
arouse the Craft to an appreciation of the danger in the grave
unrest throughout the world, the apparent increase in the domi-
nant power of selfishness, and the fact that if the fabric of our
Society and the happiness of our people are to be saved in this
crisis, we as men and Masons must give to ourselves and to the
world a new, a full and an inspiring appreciation of the great
principle of unselfish service to humanity taught by the symbol-
ism, and required by the obligation of the Mason.”

Unanimously adopted.

STATEMENT

To the Masonic Fraternity of the United States:

Inasmuch as there has been widespread circulation of re-
ports to the effect that the Masonic Service Association of the
United States is tending toward a General Grand Lodge, this As-
sociation desires to direct the attention of all Brethren to the fol-
lowing: In 1919 at the first conference held at Cedar Rapids
when the association was born a resolution was unanimously
adopted on this point. It reads:

“Resolved, That nothing in the formation of this organiza-
tion shall be construed as a move toward the organization of a
National Grand Lodge.” ‘

Then in 1919 when the permanent constitution was adopted
fit was the desire of every one that the fears of some on this point
might be forever quieted, hence there was written into the clause
on amendments the following words:

“This constitution shall never be amended in such a manner
as to provide or permit the development of this association into
a National Grand Lodge.”

With the above in mind the Masonic Service Association of
the United States respectfully admits to the Brethren of this
country that the Grand Masters and other representatives of the
Masonic jurisdictions attending the meetings of 1918 and 1919
truthfully stated their position, and that their unanimous action
on both occasions is more apt to voice the real sentiment of the
Grand Lodges composing the association than the careless state-
ments of some individual Brethren or the inferences and fears of
those who impute to this association plans and purposes which
‘have never existed. :

Further, this association disclaims any thought of levying,

GRAND LODGE OF NORTH CAROLINA 119

or power to levy, an assessment upon a member Grand Lodge.
All recognize that it costs money to carry on the work which this
association has received instructions from its members to under-
take. That such funds might be provided, the suggestion was
made that each member jurisdiction, when it ratified the consti-
tution, provide for a fund not exceeding five cents per capita
annually from which it would contribute to the support of the
association as might be necessary. The following is the report
of the Finance Committee upon this point in 1919, which was
adopted by the association:

“Your Finance Committee recognized fully that the Masonic

. Service Association disclaims all power to levy an assessment on
the membership of the respective grand jurisdictions. It can do
no more than suggest to the Grand Lodges an idea as to the
amount to be raised, and upon what basis.

“Tt, therefore, respectfully recommends to the Grand Lodges
members of this association that a sum equal to five cents per
capita upon their respective memberships be appropriated an-
nually; that the amounts thus raised be held by the respective
jurisdictions in which raised subject to the draft of the Executive
Commission, or whatever may be agreed upon as a title of the
committee by which the executive work shall be carried on be-
tween sessions, and said Executive Commission be, and is here-
by, authorized to draw upon such funds ratably as the needs for
carrying on the work decided upon by this association may
arise.

During the two years of our existence member jurisdictions
have been asked to contribute in all but two cents per capita.
When considered in the light of a two-cent postage-stamp from
each Brother in the member jurisdictions, this is indeed so small
that it would seem impossible for any one to magnify it into a
financial burden upon any member Grand Lodge.

Again, we meet the statement that this association was
brought into being as a war emergency. They say the war is
over, hence the need for this association is ended. True it is
that the war so far as fighting goes is over, but there is no Bro-
ther now living who will see the end of the conditions brought
into being by the war. The war brought home to American Ma-
sonry its unpreparedness, and the further fact that through lack
of organization the Masonic Fraternity of the United States,
composed of two million citizens, was denied the opportunity of
rendering the largest measure of service to our country. It
would seem to be the part of wisdom and of Masonic statesman-

. ship that such a condition as we faced in 1917 and 1918 should
never again be possible, and that the Masons of America should
set in motion such a program as shall inspire every Master Ma-
son with the significance of Masonry’s contribution in the forma-
tion of democratic institutions in America, and the supreme need
now of preserving and handing down to posterity not only un-
impaired, but improved, this government which we love more
than life itself. é ie oak

This is the challenge of the hour of every right-thinking and
far-seeing American Mason. Through the Masonic Service As-

120 PROCEEDINGS: OF THE

sociation of the United States we believe this challenge can be
met.
(Unanimously adopted.)

The Masonic Service Association, in my judgment, gives a
great opportunity to render service along all Masonic activities
to such jurisdictions as can and will effect an organization to
disseminate the information rendered by the association. I be-
lieve that if this Grand Lodge in its wisdom should see fit to
use the information offered them, it would be of incalculabie
benefit, not only to the Craft but to the entire commonwealth.

Fraternally ee
W. WILLSON,
Seat Secretary.

Past Grand Master Alderman: I .want to move the
adoption. That paper is of especial interest to me, being
in the line of work of endeavoring to bring light to those
who desire it—I don’t say, who need it; but those who
desire it; and that being the great principle-of our insti-
tution, I am especially pleased with that paper. If for
that one thing only, the diffusion of knowledge that they
propose to do, it is worth all that we can put into it. In
1914 when I had the honor of being Grand Master of this
State, I was in St. Louis with all the Grand Masters in
the United States being present; and I was just here
when Brother Cash reported that one of them had pass-
ed away. He was one of the number fearful that there
might be an effort to convert it into a National Grand
Lodge; and I am very sorry to know that he has passed
over. But the great benefit that can accrue from the
annual meeting of the Grand Masters is of such impor-
tance, that I think The Grand Lodge of North Carolina,
and the Masons throughout the State, make a great mis-
take unless they take up whole-heartedly this work. I
move the adoption of this report, and that so much of it
as refers to the finance matters be referred to the Fi-
nance Committee.

The motion was carried, and so muchas pertained
to finance was referred to the Finance Committee.

Bro. J. E. Cameron: Most Worshipful Grand Master,
there is one matter I wish to bring up. I don’t remem-
ber how long ago the question of the expenses of the
Past Grand Masters and District Deputies were passed
upon. When the section was originally read, I moved a
change in the verbiage of that section and an amendment.
It seems that only the Past Grand Masters were the ones
to have traveling expenses paid while in attendance on

GRAND LODGE oF NorTH CAROLINA 121

the Grand Lodge, but that the District Deputies were paid
for their mileage only. I don’t remember what change
was made in that section; but all were paid last year.
Now the question has been raised about how to pay them.
If we didn’t wipe out the section just paying them
mileage, I intended paying them actual expenses.

Grand Secretary: If that was wiped out, it would
be a matter of record; but I don’t recall it exactly. I
think it was provided that they get mileage only. That
was passed before the day and time when railroads
were charging 4 and 5 cents a mile one way. I suppose
that this Grand Lodge by motion can pay them anything
they want. —

Brother Cameron: I move that the District Deputy
Grand Masters receive their traveling expenses just as
other members of the Grand Lodge.

Grand Secretary: I second that motion.

Upon vote being taken, the motion was duly carried,
and it was so ordered.

Bro. J. J. Phoenix, for the Committee on Masonic and
Eastern Star Home, presented the following report,
which was read and referred to the Committee on Fi-
nance:

To The Grand Lodge of North Carolina, A. F. & A. M.:

We have carefully reviewed the reports of Bro. C. M. Van-
story, Chairman of Board of Directors, and Bro. L. M. Clymer,
Secretary and Treasurer,-of Masonic and Eastern Star Home
of North Carolina, and submit our findings as follows:

1. We recognize the splendid work carried on in this Institu-
tion in behalf of the old and indigent members of our Masonic
organization.

2. The fact is revealed that all guests of the Home, except
one person, is a Master Mason or a dependent one of a Mason.
Only one Eastern Star has thus far applied for admission.

3. We find the Institution is now filled to capacity and has
a waiting list of 17.

4. In view of these conditions we recommend this Grand
Lodge appropriate $25,000.00 to carry out the enlargement of
building by addition of 16 rooms. ae,

5. We also recommend the appropriation of $12,500.00 to
maintenance of the Home for 1921.

Bro. R. C. Dunn: Most Worshipful Grand Master,
the special committee, appointed to hear the appeal of
Dr. J. R. Ballance in the action of Castalia Lodge in ex-
pelling him, asks for more time. Through no fault on
the part of the committee, we have been unable to have
this hearing. Dr. Ballance on being notified that the
committee would meet for that purpose by the Grand
Secretary wrote me that I had done him a grave injus-
tice in attempting to force him to appear in a Lodge
which he hated. He wrote a very harsh letter, and the
sum and substance of his communication was further
that he did not intend to appear before that Lodge at
the time stated or at any other time; whereupon I wrote
him that we were officers of the Grand Lodge appointed
to make the investigation of the appeal, and told him
that his action put him without the pale of possibility to
have this committee make its report. Since that time,
I have received a letter from him in apology just as
profuse as his former letter was in condemnation; and
since that letter I have received another letter from
him in which he reiterates his apology and now says he
is not only willing, but ready and anxious, to appear be-
fore the committee at any time and at any place. I
therefore recommend that the committee be continued in
power or another committee appointed so that they may
give this matter due consideration. This has been hang-
ing fire here now for four years or more, and for some
reason no action has been taken. If the brother’s con-
duct had continued as outlined in his first letter, I should

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 123

have recommended that the Grand Lodge sustain the ac-
tion of Castalia Lodge; but I believe every brother
should be given every chance, especially when he writes
such a profuse letter as Dr. Ballance has done. I would
ll sir, that the committee be given more time to re-
port.
This motion was duly seconded and carried.

Bro. R. C. Dunn: The Committee on Code Revision
asks for more time. Owing to the immensity of the
task that confronted the committee, we have been unable
to do more than simply formulate plans and work over
about one-third of the Code. You yourself know the
great task that is before this committee. We cannot do
it hastily. We want to do it well if we can; and we ask
that we be given more time, and be permitted to make a
report at the next communication of the Grand Lodge
in 1922. I move that this committee. be continued in
power, so as to report to the Grand Lodge at its next an-
nual communication.

This motion was duly seconded and carried.

Grand Treasurer: I wish to report to the Grand
Lodge that I learn that Past Grand Master Robert Bing-
ham is sick and was therefore unable to attend at this
communication, and he regrets sincerely his inability
to be here.

Bro. James H. Webb: I move that the Grand
Secretary be instructed to send a message of sympathy
to Past Grand Master Bingham, expressing our regret
for his inability to be with us and wishing for him a
speedy recovery.

The motion was duly seconded and carried.

Past Grand Master Alderman: Most Worshipful
Grand Master, there seems to be a lull in the proceed-
ings, waiting for the reports of committees, and I want
to make the suggestion that we call on our visiting
worthy brother, the Grand Master of Virginia, to give
us a talk on Virginia Masonry.

Grand Master Galt: Most Worshipful Grand Mas-
ter and Brethren of The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:
I desire to get up and say a few words this morning,
something that I left out yesterday.

Not being a practiced or polished speaker, I almost
invariably leave out something when I make a talk.

What I wanted to say, and I don’t think I mentioned
it at all yesterday, was in connection with the celebra-

124 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

tion of George Washington’s Masonic birthday. On the
4th day of November, 1752, George Washington was
brought to Masonic “Light” in the Lodge at Fredericks-
burg; now Fredericksburg Lodge, No. 4, the number
given soon after the Grand Lodge of Virginia was orga-
nized. It was suggested to me in the spring or summer
by Fredericksburg Lodge to request the Lodges in the
Grand Jurisdiction of Virginia to meet on the 4th day
of November and celebrate the 168th Masonic birthday
of this great man. I put it off sometime, because to
write a letter equal to the occasion would require con-
siderable thought, and it was hard to express it proper-
ly. But, I finally did write the letter instructing the
District Deputy Grand Masters to direct the Lodges to
meet on the 4th day of November of this year_and cele-
brate, with speakers or readers, the Masonic life and ca-
reer of the peerless American. Such meetings were held
in many of the Lodges in my Grand Jurisdiction; and
later I received a copy of a similar letter issued by the
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New York order-
ing like meetings to be held in that Grand Jurisdiction.
Past Grand Master Louis Watres of Pennsylvania, Pres-
ident of the G. W. M. N. M. Association, congratulated
me on this action, and said he was in Ohio at the time
he received a copy of my letter, and that had he gotten
it sooner both Pennsylvania and Ohio would have issued
like instructions, that it would be taken up hereafter, and
he hoped to see this notable day celebrated in every juris-
diction throughout the United States of America.

I trust that this Grand Jurisdiction will take it up,
and I also express the wish that: hereafter, throughout
America, every Lodge will call a communication for the
purpose of celebrating the Masonic birthday of George
Washington, the Mason. I believe it is better to have
this celebration separately by each Lodge, in order the
better to disseminate the patriotic history and Masonic
career of our great Mason. I hope it can be carried out,
and shall suggest in my address to the Grand Lodge that
it be made a law.

I have never seen your work and, therefore, can draw
no comparisons between North Carolina and Virginia
work; but Virginia work, we claim—and of course, all
of us claim many things—is the simplest of all rituals.

In 1846 a meeting of Grand Officers was held in
Baltimore, over which that great Masonic scholar and

GRAND LODGE oF NorTH CAROLINA 125

ritualist, John Dove, presided. A number of the Grand
Lodges were represented. They resolved that Virginia
work be adopted throughout the country; but, of course,
it being an enormous undertaking, it was never done.

In every jurisdiction there are apparent differences
—even that wonderful story that is told every time we
meet under certain conditions, a story that never grows
old, differs slightly everywhere, but is essentially the
same in all jurisdictions.

I would like to refer to one or two things before I
stop, that seem of importance to me.

Every Master should wear his hat while presiding
over a Lodge. It is his right and a distinguishing pre-
rogative—a time honored custom among Masons—prob-
ably adopted by the Master of the first organized Lodge
possibly in the first Masonic assemblies.

All Masons should practice speaking in Lodge, al-
though many are too modest and diffident to attempt it.
For a long time it was so embarrassing to me that even
the seconding of a motion or speaking on a petition was
a difficult matter; but, in time stage fright disappeared.
So, when any Brother makes the effort frequently, that
distressing embarrassment will vanish, he will develop
an ease in speaking just as he does in learning the ritual,
take more pleasure in his Lodge, and receive a propor-
tunate benefit from the social side of Masonry.

I thank you again for your kind attention.

Grand Master: I want to say for myself and the
other Brethren of the Grand Lodge that we appreciated
the distinguished Brother’s remarks on Virginia Mason-
ry. We all appreciated them; and in explanation of just
one allusion that you have made to the birthday observ-
ance of the Father of His Country, I think I should make
this explanation. You doubtless know, as well as this
entire Grand Lodge, that the geography of North Caro-
lina shows that it is a very long and narrow State; and
a very great majority of our Lodges are situated out of
towns, certainly out of towns of any importance, and to
communicate with these respective Lodges requires
- quite a little time. I want to assure you, sir, that had
the notice of that observance come earlier, North Caro-
lina would have rendered obedience in the observance of
that day in memory of the Father of His Country. It
came so late that we actually didn’t have the time to
have a sufficient number of: letters written and get them

to the Lodges before the day on which the celebration
should have been held. Not only would we have paid
homage to Washington as a man and a Mason, but we
would have been delighted to have rendered any courtesy
to our sister jurisdiction.

Bro. H. T. Patterson, for the Committee on Ap-
peals, presented the following report, which was read
and, on motion, adopted:

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

The Committee on Appeals begs leave to offer the following
report:

The appeal of J. Q. Adams from the decision of the Grand
Master sustaining the report of a special commission appointed
by him to investigate charges against said Adams while he was
Master of State Road Lodge, No. 540, begs leave to report that
in its opinion the decision of the Grand Master and the commis-
sion in so far as it suspended the said J. Q. Adams as Master of
said Lodge should be sustained, but that so much of the recommen-
dation of the commision and the order of the Grand Master as ex-
pelled the said Adams should not be sustained. We further rec-
ommend that inasmuch as the appellant is no longer Master of
his Lodge that it now preceed to try him under the provision of
Masonic law upon the original charges preferred against him by
the Junior Warden.

We have considered the appeal of C. A. Richardson from the
judgment of Neuse Lodge, No. 97, suspending him for a period
of twenty years. This matter was referred back to Neuse Lodge
at last Grand Lodge for definite action. We recommend that
the action of Neuse be sustained.

Bro. H. M. Poteat read the following communication
from Dr. Wright of Chapel Hill:

CHAPEL HILL, N. C., January 18, 1921.

To the Grand Master, Grand Secretary and Brethren in Grand
Lodge Assembled:

Between fifty and sixty young Master Masons in the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, representing approximately thirty-
five Lodges in North Carolina, have formed themselves into a
Masonic Club, with the intention of petitioning for recognition
by the national Acacia fraternity—a college fraternity for mem-
bers of the Masonic order only. Believing our movement to be
for the best interests of Masonry among the students in the Uni-
versity, we ask that you recognize and endorse our attempt.

Fraternally yours,
Haywoop M. Taytor, President,
MYRON GREEN, Secretary.

GRAND LODGE oF NorTH CAROLINA 127

Brother Poteat: I move you, sir, that this Grand
Lodge recognize or endorse the institution of a Chapter
of a fraternity known as the Acacia Club, at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina.

The motion was duly seconded and carried.

Grand Treasurer B. R. Lacy offered a resolution in-
corporating certain words in the secret work in the op-
ening and closing of Lodge. The resolution was on mo-
tion duly adopted.

Bro. M. Bolton, for the Committee on Propositions
and Grievances, presented the following report, which
was read:

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PROPOSITIONS AND GRIEVANCES

To the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Wardens and Brethren of
The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:
Your Committee on Propositions and Grievances beg to re-

port:
. Mooresville, Lodge, No. 496. We recommend the restoration
of the charter of the Lodge.

L. H. Hamby vs. G. L. Payne and Ashler Lodge, No. 451.
On account of the voluminous and tedious correspondence and pa-
pers connected with the case we recommend the appointment of a
special committee to investigate and report as may be directed by
the Grand Master.

Emmett Simmons’ petition for restoration to non-affiliate
membership.

Lebanon, No. 391. We recommend the petition be granted.
After due consideration of the petition from all angles, both sides
having been heard, we find that there appears to be prejudice in
the convicting Lodge to such an extent that the petitioner could
never be restored under section 171 of the Code—but we do find
certificates of good character and righteous living for several
years by a minister of the Gospel and a Mason, by a worthy citi-
izen of his present community and a Master of the city of Raleigh
and we recommend his restoration under section 177.

Respectfully submitted,
M. Botton, Chmn.
Gro. PoLLoK BurGwyn, Sec. Com.

Bro. A. A. Davis: We are a committee from Leba-
non Lodge to make a protest against this man’s being re-
instated in thé Lodge. About 12 years ago he was tried
in our Lodge on the charge of seduction and was found
guilty. The young lady was of excellent character, and
nothing wrong was ever heard against her. She was
a member of a good family and good people, and this
man was charged with the crime not only in our Lodge,
but he was excluded from the Odd Fellows Lodge also.

128 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

At the same time he paid the woman. He was tried in
our Lodge and he was represented by an attorney from
Fayetteville. The District Deputy Grand Master pre-
sided, and we feel that he was given a fair and square
trial before the committee. Therefore, we are sent here
as representatives of the Lebanon Lodge appointed by
“ unanimous vote of the members assembled to make an
earnest protest against this man being reinstated in a
Masonic Lodge in North Carolina. We want to say furth-
er that we earnestly hope that the Grand Lodge will not
run this matter over us. .

Bro. Geo. P. Burgwyn: The committee heard this
case and there is nothing in the world against this man
before this charge was preferred against him; and for
four years there has been no accusation whatever against
him; and these Brethren who appeared before the com-
mittee admitted the fact that he had led an upright life.
This man protested his innocence; the Lodge demands

that he come back and make confession and beg their
pardon. He contends that he is absolutely innocent, and,
therefore, can make no confession. We had certificates
from some of the best men in Raleigh, ministers of the
Gospel, and he is a member of other fraternities. These
brothers come here to the Grand Lodge representing that
they are sent here by the unanimous vote of their Lodge.
As I understand it their membership is over 40, and at
that meeting there were only around 15 present.

In view of the fact that they admit that he had been
upright before and has been since that accusation, and
he was convicted only upon the testimony of the woman,
we feel like he is entitled to another chance. They ad-
mit that they have never heard anything against him,
‘and this is the only accusation heard against him. This
does not mean that he is reinstated for membership, but
just reinstating him as a non-affiliate, and in that demit
it is written that he has been expelled from Lebanon
Lodge and he can present that paper to any other Lodge.
They can investigate him and accept him or not as they
see fit. We feel that he is entitled to another chance; anc
we recommend that he be given that chance. This mar
claims he is innocent, and we feel the Masonic spiri'
would be to give him another chance.

Grand Secretary: I would like to ask a representa
tive of the Lodge one question. Isn’t the young lady iu
question married now?

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 129

Bro. A. A. Davis: Yes, sir.

Grand Master: The question as I understand it is
on the adoption of the report of this committee. All in
favor will say “Aye;” opposed “No.” The “Ayes” have
it, and the report of the committee is adopted.

Brother Williams presented the following resolution,
which was read and duly seconded:

“Resolved, That the salary of the Grand Treasurer
be fixed at the sum of three hundred dollars per annum,
and the By-Laws amended accordingly.”

Grand Master: In accordance with the provisions
of the By-Laws, this resolution must lay over one day,
and will be acted upon tomorrow.

The Grand Lodge was then called from labor to re-
freshment until 7:30 o’clock p. m.

The Grand Lodge was called from refreshment to
labor at 7:30 o’clock p. m., Most Worshipful Grand Mas-
ter James C. Braswell, presiding.

The Grand Secretary presented the following resolu-
tion which was read, and referred to the Committee on

Jurisprudence:
RALEIGH, N. C., January. 19, 1921.

To the Grand Master, Officers and Members of The Grand Lodge
of North Carolina:

There is pending in the Congress of the United States a bill
known as the Smith-Towner Bill. This bill was introduced in the
Senate by Hon. Hoke Smith from Georgia and in the House of
Representatives by Hon. Horace M. Towner from Iowa. It meets
the approval of nearly all intelligent people except, of course,
those who are opposed to public schools. The bill provides:

1. An Executive Department of the Government to be called
the Department of Education, with a Secretary of Education at
the head thereof to be appointed by the President as a member of
his cabinet.

2. That the Department shall conduct studies and investiga-
tions in the field of education, and that research shall be under-
taken in (a) Illiteracy; (b) Public School Education, and espe-
cially rural education; (c) Immigrant Education} (d) Prepara-
tion and supply of competent teachers for public ‘schools.

3. The bill appropriates $100,000,000.00 annually to be used
by the Department in codperation with the several states to en-
courage the states in the promotion and support of education;
in the removal of illiteracy; in the improvement of public school
systems and general educational facilities, especially in rural and
sparsely settled localities in the principles of health and sanita-
tion; in the promotion of physical education and instruction in
the principles of health and sanitation; in the preparation of
teachers for public school service. In short, the purpose of the
bill, broadly stated, is to aid the states in furnishing the children
of the Republic an opportunity to attend public schools and to aid
in improving the work of those schools. It seeks to aid states in
fighting illiteracy and in teaching the English language and prin-
ciples of Americanism to immigrants.

As evidence that this piece of legislation is in no sense a
partisan measure, the bill is endorsed by the General Federation
of Women’s Clubs, representing nearly three million women
throughout the country. The National Educational Association
at its recent meeting urged the prompt passage of the bill. It
is the general opinion of educators and of those who are inter-
ested in the education of the youth of our country, the Smith-
Towner Bill offers the best and most practical solution of the
great national problem of illiteracy whick has been proposed for
enactment by Congress.

.

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 131

: Education and enlightenment of the masses is fundamental
in the teachings of Free Masonry. The free public school is a
great corner stone underlying the foundations of our Democracy.
The free public school is the great nursery for training in Amer-
icanism, in knowledge of and love for our institutions and ideals,
that knowledge which will preserve us as a nation, and will train
those who are to become the guiding spirits of the next genera-
tion. For them this movement should be fostered that they may
‘be worthy of their task.

The bill is in harmony with the ideals of our Order: Better
schools, a more enlightened citizenship, a better country. We
therefore respectfully submit the enclosed resolution:

\ WHEREAS, There is at this time pending in the Congress of
the United States, a bill known as the “Smith-Towner Educa-
tional Bill,” and

WHEREAS, This piece of legislation is designed and intended
to advance and improve the educational facilities for the youth
of this nation, by providing for financial assistance from the
National Treasury to the several states, and for important re-
search work in education, and for improved teacher service, and,

WHEREAS, This bill does not interfere with, or intermeddle
in, the administration of educational affairs in the several states,
but provides financial assistance, research, and improved teacher
service only,

Now Therefore be it Resolved, That The Grand Lodge of
North Carolina, A. F. & A. M., approve the purposes of this legis-
lation and does further urge and encourage all of the Craft in its
jurisdiction to become active and diligent supporters of every
ieffort to improve the mental standards of our people through the
improvement of free public schools.

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of North Carolina:
. We, your Committee on Oxford Orphan Asylum, having care-
fully considered the report of the Board of Directors beg to sub-

it the following: . ; “
< We are totes impressed with the continued and ever increas-
ing support of, and interest in, the orphan children under our

132 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

care, on the part of, not only the Masons of North Carolina, but
the public in general. The interest of the public is especially
shown in the large patronage given the Singing Class concerts
throughout the state; their receipts showing an increase of about
70 per cent. over the previous year.

It was a fine thing to do, and just like Shriners, for .the
Nobles of Oasis and Sudan Temples to appropriate the neces-
sary funds with which to provide modern play-grounds with
swimming pool and all other up-to-date equipment for the chil-
dren at Oxford Orphanage.

Quite a number of bequests were made to our institution
during the past year, two of them being from boys who were
trained there. One of these boys had been eminently successful
in the business world, the other had crowned his efforts by mak-
ing the supreme sacrifice on a battlefield in France, while fight-
ing for the liberty and freedom of mankind.

The sincere thanks and grateful appreciation of this Grand
Lodge are hereby given for all of the above manifestations of
love for the children at Oxford Orphanage.

We note the slight increase in the subscription price of The
Orphans’ Friend. The surprise to us is that it has been able to
maintain the old price this long. The brethren may be assured
that just as soon as possible the former price will be again put
into effect. We commend the management for keeping The Or-
phans’ Friend free from questionable advertising matter.

The appropriations asked for by the Board of Directors may
seem large to some, but the needs are large too and the extra
amount requested for a sanitary dairy is in our judgment a ne-
cessity, so we hope the Grand Lodge may see its way clear to
grant the following: .

Baby Cottage, maintenance -_-------------- $ 5,000 00

For erection sanitary dairy ~--------------- 10,000 00

A. “total of soso 5s Shes tesa ck $ 40,000 00

Three severe epidemics during the past three years have
shown more forcefully than ever that our hospital or infirmary
accommodations are entirely inadequate and we trust that this
Grand Lodge will take the necessary steps to see that a modern
hospital for the use of our own institution and on our own
grounds is soon provided for.

In February of last year influenza, measles and pneumonia
raged among our children, claiming two of them as victims,
which brought sadness to all; but the health of our children is
now splendid and withal God has been wonderfully kind to us
and we render Him grateful thanks for all His goodness. ;

We would not conclude our report without recounting the
fact that we consider the Masons of North Carolina indeed for-
tunate in having such noble and efficient men and women as heads
of Oxford Orphanage and its various departments. They have
labored faithfully and well and in the name of the Grand Lodge

Grand Master: We have all been taught within the
recesses of our hearts the inspiring principles of the
great Order of Masonry. It seems to me that we, as an
institution, have fallen far short of our obligations to
mankind. From my point of view we owe not only the
individuals, but the State and Nation, an obligation; and
Masonry should be an active, virile force in the perfor-
mance of that duty. In order to accomplish this, I know
of but one remedy to apply. To secure that end, the
Craft must be informed. The principal design, I think,
of a National Masonic Service Association is to educate
the Craft. This Grand Lodge is a member of that As-
sociation. They propose not to thrust upon us any plan
of education that they may adopt and recommend, but
they leave it entirely in the discretion of each member
jurisdiction to map out its own plan. I think there
should be an active force put in operation along this line,
and we ought not to wait any longer. I would, there-
fore, move that the incoming Grand Master appoint a
committee, which may be styled the Committee on Edu-
cation, or for the Furtherance of Education, or any-
thing of that kind he may see fit to name it, and to act
in conjunction with the National Masonic Service As-
sociation along this line of education, and that we at-
tempt to put into effect just as early as it can be accom-
plished.

This was duly put in the form of a motion, duly sec-
onded and carried.

Bro. R. C. Dunn, for the Committee on Masonic Juris-
prudence, submitted the following report, which, after
being read, was duly adopted:

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON RECOGNITION OF CERTAIN GRAND
LODGES
To The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:
Your special committee appointed at the annual communica-
tion. of 1920 to consider the matter of the recognition of the Grand
Lodge De Valle of Mexico and the York Grand Lodge of Mexico,
have carefully considered the same and report as “ollows:

134 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

We find that The Grand Lodge of North Carolina has never
extended recognition to any Grand Lodge in the Republic of Mexi-
co, nor has it ever interdicted Mexican Freemasonry, but wisely
left these matters with the Grand Lodge nearest to that Republic,
who are more directly concerned, and are better prepared to pass
judgment upon the merits of such cases.

y, From official and unofficial sources, we learn that American
Masons are in each of the Grand bodies, each, one claiming a pre-
ponderance over the other, and in view of these disputed facts,
about which it is unnecessary now to express our opinion, we
recommend that the matter of recognition and interchange of
Representatives with any Grand Lodge in the Republic of Miexico

be continued.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MASONIC JURISPRUDENCE

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

The Committee on Jurisprudence respectfully submits the
following report.

1. The Committee recommends that the resolution introduced
by Bro. A. S. Holden,’ providing for an amendment to Regula-
tion No. 171 of the Code, do not pass.

2. The Committee recommends that the reports of the special
Committees appointed at the annual communication for 1920, to
consider the recognition of the Grand Lodge De Valle of Mex-
ico and the York Grand Lodge of Mexico, be approved.

8. The committee recommends that the petition of Mill Creek
Lodge, No. 480, relative to conferring of funeral rites upon de-
ceased brethren subsequent to the time of the actual interment of
the body be rejected. .

4. The matter of the suspension of the Master of State Road
Lodge, No. 540, having been acted upon by the Committee on Ap-
peals, said committee having recommended that the said Lodge
proceed with the trial according to Masonic law, the committee
on ia ita concurs in the action of the Committee on Ap-
peals.

5. That the recommendations of the Grand Master, .as to the
employment of Lecturers by the subordinate Lodges and the cer-
tificates of proficiency by the officers of the Subordinate Lodges,
be referred to the Code Commission, with the recommendation by
the Committee on Jurisprudence that means be devised by said
Code Commission to carry into effect as near as practicable such
recommendations of the Grand Master.

6. This committee approves the interpretation by the Grand
Master of Sections 116, 128, 124, 125, 170 and 171, of the Constitu-
tion and of Section 268 of the Regulations.

7. That the ruling of the Grand Master, granting concurrent
jurisdiction to Coats Lodge, No. 622, and Harnett Lodge, No. 258,
of the town of Angier, is approved.

amined and passed upon as to their proficiency in the Master
Mason degree before becoming affiliated with any Lodge.

GILBERT HENDRIX, J. W.
Stokes Lodge, No. 82, Concord, N. C.

(Failed to pass.)

Upon motion, duly made, seconded and carried, this
Se was referred to the Committee on Jurispru-

ence.

Past Grand Master Royster: You will recall that in
the report of the Directors of Oxford Orphan Asylum,
reference was made to the urgent necessity of providing
another hospital, where the sick of our unfortunate chil-
dren might be nursed back to health and life. I note
with peculiar pleasure and an unusual degree of inter-
est the reference to this matter by the Committee on
the Oxford Orphanage. I deem it to be unnecessary to
say to an intelligent body like The Grand Lodge of North
Carolina that hospitals are now regarded not as luxuries,
but as absolute necessities. There are.376 immortal
souls in the Orphan Asylum at Oxford. They are your
charges; you have assumed the obligation to take care of
them, not only with respect to providing them with cloth-
ing, with food and with education; but you have solemn-
ly pledged before High Heaven that their minds, their
souls, and their bodies shall be preserved against all the
enemies of disease; that vice shall be put away from
them, and that temptation shall be as far removed as
possible. .

With respect to all of these other things, except the
hospital facilities and the onslaughts of disease, we think
we have been fairly fortunate and successful. During
the fall and winter of 1918 and 1919, an epidemic of in-
fluenza swept our whole nation; and at one time in the
Orphanage of Oxford, there were more than 260 of the

136 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

boys and girls stricken. Our small infirmary, or hospi-
tal as it was called, was filled to overflowing with 35 to
40 cases that had developed pneumonia. Seven or eight
buildings on the grounds had to be temporarily trans-
formed into hospitals. Our facilities were not adequate;
we couldn’t get nurses; physicians worked day and night,
and I declare in this presence that but for the splendid
services of the Christian women of Oxford, more than
two of these dear boys and girls would have gone “over
the Top” into the “Great Beyond.” These devoted wo-
men of Oxford would get up in the morning at five, and
go to that Institution, and cook and wait on and nurse
these boys and girls; the older boys and girls were all
sick; there was nobody to wait on them except volun-
teers; the teachers and other employees and officers of.
the Institution had been worked down.

Why, my brethren, we had as one of the chief wait-
ers, who carried the food from the kitchen to the cot-
tages, a judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina,
and other men of our town did the same service every
day. Then we realized, those of us who were in close
and vital touch with the life of that Institution, we real-
ized that we could not longer tempt Providence.

God has been good to us at our Orphanage. We came
out with the smallest death rate in this epidemic, con-
sidering the same number of sick children, of any oth-
er Institution or community in North Carolina. But,
brethren, we have had:a recurrence of epidemics—meas-
les, influenza, typhoid—we had 30-odd cases of pneu-
monia there during this epidemic; and with our limited
infirmary facilities, we couldn’t take care of half of them;
and the wonder to me is that the other half didn’t die.
God in His goodness and mercy deemed it wise to pre-
serve and care for them for some useful future career in
the State and Nation.

The time has come when we cannot afford to jeop-
ardize the lives of these little ones. Is there a man in
this hall, who saw that splendid class of fourteen boys
and girls in this hall this afternoon, who wouldn’t be
willing to say that the life of any one of them is worth
more than all of the money the hospital for our Insti-
tution will cost?

My friends, in the great world struggle through
which we passed a few years ago, this Institution of ours
furnished from 85 to 90 boys and girls, who fought to
make whiter the white in the flag of our country. Some

GRAND LODGE oF NorTH CAROLINA 137

of them contributed their blood to make more crimson
the red of it; and others rendered such a high degree of
service, the supreme sacrifice, that the stars which twin-
kle in the blue have turned into golden and made it pu-
rer and finer. They have rendered to North Carolina and
to the Nation and to the World, the same high degree of
service rendered by the boys and girls from the private
homes; and one of them gave his all; no, two of them
gave their all, their lives, in the cause of liberty. One
of them, writing his will a few hours before he went
over the top, writing to his mother, when it seemed that
the cold hand of Death was grasping his pencil, wrote:
“Mother, don’t forget the Oxford Orphan Asylum, my
foster-mother, to whom I owe, except you, dear Mother,
more than to any other institution or person on earth.”

Several months ago a tablet was unveiled to his mem-
ory in the hall of our chapel; and that good mother was
there, and complying with the dying request of her son,
she handed over to the Superintendent of the Institu-
tion, practically all he had saved, and he saved it in the
form of Liberty Bonds, denying himself, and purchasing .
them from the Government in order that others might
carry on the work. That is the type of boys and girls
that are turned out from the Oxford Orphan Asylum.
Some of the most successful business men in North Car-
olina have been trained and educated at that Institu-
tion. They will measure up in character, integrity, in-
telligence and religion with the best that come from any
homes in the State; and I plead with you tonight that
you take some steps here in order that the lives of these
boys and girls may be amply protected.

We already have the plans drawn for a hospital. You
will remember that in 1919 the Grand Lodge authorized
the Board of Directors to proceed with the erection of
the hospital, but Brethren, the erection of a hospital, like
the feeding and clothing and education of the children,
costs money. We didn’t have the money; we didn’t
have it belonging to the Institution. We were unwilling
to assume the debt and incur the obligation incident to
the discharge of that duty; but we come before you now
and ask that you make good your interest in this Insti-
tution. Project into a hospital, if you please, some of
the loyalty and affection that you feel toward the In-
stitution and the unfortunate ones of North Carolina.
We don’t want it for show; we don’t want a hospital to

138 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

be conducted by anybody else; we want it for the chil-
dren of the Oxford Orphanage. ;

It can’t be run at a loss, if in ten years it saves one
boy or girl it will be worth what it costs this Grand
Lodge, all it costs the next half century. It will prob-
ably cost $100,000 to build such a building as ought to be
put up there. Brethren, we haven’t solicited any con-
tributions thus far, but by some means the friends of the
Institution learned that a work of that kind was on
foot, and one of them wrote a letter to the Superinten-
dent of the Institution, pledging $5,000 towards its erec-
tion. I don’t believe he is a Mason, but he loves North Car-
olina, and he loves the Oxford Orphan Asylum. I want
to know how many individual Masons there are here to-
night, who are willing to make some sacrifice in order
that we may save these boys and girls from disease and
from suffering and perhaps from death. Our purpose is
to try and begin this work this year. We want you as
individuals to have a conference with your consciences
here and now, commune with your better self, and give
expression to what your conscience tells you you ought
to do.

We can’t build it this year, and, therefore, we won’t
ask you to pay it all in one year. Extend it over a pe-
riod of three years, and we won’t charge you any inter-
est, and we promise you when it is built, you will get
from it the largest dividend from any investment you
ever made in the world. It may not come in dollars, but
it will come in that satisfaction of duty well done that
the angels alone record.

If you should go over to Oxford Orphan Asylum with
me tonight at this hour, and go to the Baby Cottage, and
see thirty-five of God’s little ones under five years of
age, all asleep, and observe on the faces of each single
one of them the smile that seems to me to be provoked
by the tickle of angels’ wings, then you will get a glimpse
of a corner of Heaven. I have a notion that pictures
of that kind are intended to lead us onward and upward
to that glory land where love and mercy kiss each other. -

I don’t know how to take up a collection; I have nev-
er known how. But I want you to take the collection
yourselves, with your hands on your hearts, and your
eyes towards the 376 precious little ones, every one of
whom is just as precious as the 12 or 14 who were here
this afternoon. Suppose, Brethren, the life of any one

GRAND LODGE oF NorTH CAROLINA 139

of them should be dependent on what we do here to-
night, I believe we would get the money necessary to
erect the building. It was a necessity that we build a
Baby Cottage in order that we might take care of all of
the orphans of a family, so that they might not be sepa-
rated, but kept together in close touch. Without hesita-
tion, the Masons built the Baby Cottage, so that we could
take and keep the whole family there.

Then, another thing. I am proud of the part that the
Masons of North Carolina have in this Institution; 376
unfortunate, destitute orphans of the State are there,
and less than 18 per cent. of them the orphans of Ma-
sons. About 321 of them are the orphans of non-Masons,
and the balance the orphans of Masons. That is the
kind of charity I believe in. And it is the kind I believe
the Masons of North Carolina believe in.

Now, we are going to distribute some blanks, and we
want you to make possible this thing that is nearest the
hearts of the Directors of the Institution. The men and
women, Masons and non-Masons, know the necessity. It
is to be operated by the Oxford Orphan Asylum for the
benefit of the orphan children. The city has a hospital
of its own; we haven’t and we need one. It won’t cost
too much to run it, if we can save the life of one child
now and then.

Bro. H. E. Austin, of Greenville, No. 284: Might I
have the privilege of bearing personal testimony to the
importance, the value and the necessity of the hospital.
J have the privilege to be associated with one of the great
institutions of the State, the North Carolina Teachers’
Training School; and we consider our hospital one of the
most important and necessary adjuncts of the institu-
tion. During the eleven years of our life, we have stop-
ped an epidemic of measles with six cases; we have stop-
ped smallpox with one case; we have stopped typhoid
with one case; and we have had other cases that might
have gone into epidemics without such an adjunct to our
institution. When a girl is too sick or ill to appear on
class, she must go to that infirmary, where she is un-
der immediate supervision. There is no opportunity for
a disease to get well started before we find it out. In
the influenza epidemic, we did not lose a single girl;

ither did a girl develop pneumonia. ‘
ae ae hi eleven years of our life, over 5,000 girls
have passed through our school, and we have 310 on the

140 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

roll now; and I must bear personal testimony to the val-
ue of the institution in preventing sickness, and in the |
prevention of possible death.

Past Grand Master Liddell: . If there is a man here
who has not made up his mind how much he is going to.
give to this institution, he better get at it now or make
up his mind as to whether he is a good Mason. I sat
here and listened; and I am going to give more than 1
am able to. I am giving all the time; robbing my fam-
ily, robbing myself; but I am going to deny myself, and
I want you all to do it. Let us be Masons. .

Bro. H. M. Poteat: May I suggest that the represen-
tatives of the Lodges take blanks home and distribute
them among their Lodges?

Past Grand Master Andrews: As a Past Grand Of-
ficer of this Grand Lodge, who has visited Oxford Or-
phan-Asylum, and at present serving on the Board of
Directors for two years, I want to endorse everything
General Royster says, and I want a subscription blank
and put myself down for $500.00.

Grand Lecturer Edwards: You will recall that the
charter of Bee Log Lodge was arrested, and at the time
certain funds were turned. over to the Grand Lodge. I
now want to make a motion that the funds turned over
be now returned to that Lodge as it has been reinstated.
As you will remember, the Grand Lodge required them
to employ a Lecturer. Now they want me to go back
for two weeks more, and I want to make a motion that
the money be returned.

This motion was duly seconded, and duly carried.

Past Grand Master Royster: I desire to state to the
Grand Lodge that a total of the collection tonight amounts
to approximately $10,000.00 There are something over
30,000 Masons in North Carolina; and if those who are
at home will be only one-half as liberal as you tonight,
I can see the walls rising. I know that those of you who ~
have contributed tonight will be blessed by God. In the
name of the orphans I thank you and say, “God bless
you.”

The Grand Master: The hour has arrived for
the election of officers for the ensuing year.

He appointed as tellers Bros. Albert New, J. M. Tem-
pleton, J. W. Cuthbertson, W. R. Vaughan and W. R.
Warren. The election resulted as follows:

The Grand Master: Brethren, our guest of honor,
Grand Master Galt of our sister jurisdiction of Virgin-
ia, is about to leave us. I want you to carry, sir, back
with you to the Old Dominion, the greetings, fraternal
greetings from The Grand Lodge of North Carolina, with
its nearly 35,000 members. Your commonwealth and
your citizens have lived side by side and fought side by
side and builded together with those Down Home. We
are glad to have had you, sir.

Grand Master Galt: I thank you, sir, and the breth-
ren of The Grand Lodge of North Carolina from the bot-
tom of my heart for this is a Red-Letter day in my life;
and if ever I have again the opportunity I will come to
see you again. This has been a great pleasure to me;
I would like to see every Mason, and be able to recognize
him as a brother Mason. So, I leave you, I am sorry I
have to go before your meeting is over, but I can’t stay
unless I stayed up pretty nearly all night. I thank you
for your hospitality and entertainment, and for your
many kind courtesies; and I feel that I have put in two
of the best days of my life. I say not good-bye, brethren,
but au revoir.

Which leaves an actual balance unexpended of ------ 14,449 13

A year ago your committee (1920 proceedings, page 115) es-
timated the total receipts for 1920 would be $57,750.00 and
against it prepared a budget of $57,520.00. Actually the receipts
from all sources were $60,186.89 while the disbursements were
$54,116.61 and $2,758.45 unexpended appropriations, as shown by
Grand Treasurer’s report.

EXPENDITURES

We recommend the approval of all disbursements made by the
Grand Treasurer, including those where, at the request of the
Grand Secretary, and by direction of the Grand Master, the al-

lotted budget was exceeded.
OXFORD ORPHAN ASYLUM

Oxford Orphan Asylum has requested five items of ap-
sat aatone of (iy. regular maintenance $20,000.00, (2) Baby
Cottage maintenance of $5,000.00, (3) insurance $2,500.00, (4)
special appropriations for repairs $2,500.00, and (5) erection of
dairy barn $10,000.00, making a total of $40,000.00.

We make a lump sum appropriation of $30,000.00, as the

144 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Grand Lodge has confidence in the ability of the Board of Direc-
tors to disburse this money to the best advantage of the institu-
tion and of the Grand Lodge. Also we recommend and appro-
priate $5,000.00 for building purposes, payable in 1922.

MASONIC AND EASTERN STAR HOME

The Masonic and Eastern Star Home has requested two
items. of appropriations of (1) regular maintenance $12,000.00,
(2) building $25,000.00, making a total of $37,000.00 for mainte-
nance and enlargement of Home. ;

Wie make a lump sum appropriation of $11,000.00, as the
Grand Lodge has confidence in the ability of the Board of Di-
rectors to disburse this money to the best advantage of the in-
stitution and of the Grand Lodge. Also we recommend and ap-
propriate $5,000.00 for building purposes, payable in 1922.

DREWRY MEMORIAL GRAND SECRETARY’S:' FUND

Under previous order of the Grand Lodge: at the 1919 ses-
‘sion of the Grand Lodge (1919 proceedings, page 146), the Grand
Lodge incurred a debt of $9,000.00 for borrowed money in order
to comply with the provisions of Brother Drewry’s will of raising
this fund to $20,000.00; and this Grand Lodge was then commit-
ted to .the appropriation annually of $1,000.00 on account of this
indebtedness and the interest on the remaining outstanding in-
debtedness at 6 per cent.

This year the trustees of the fund request the appropriation
of (1) $353.55 to take up an overdraft on account of principal
invested, (2) $6.78 interest on overdraft, and (3) the interest
for 1921, amounting to $480.00, (4) the payment on the debt of ©
$1,000.00. We approve and recommend this appropriation.

This appropriation of $1,000.00 and the interest on the bal-
ance outstanding will have to be provided for in the years 1922,
1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927 and 1928, the interest decreasing
$60.00 annually by reason of the retirement of each $1,000.00
note.

We find that this fund yielded $954.97 during the year 1920,
which only covered three-quarters as the January dividends were
incorporated in the report made in January, 1920. We concur
in the conclusion of the trustees to have this fund open and close
with the calendar year, so that in 1922 the report will be for a
‘full year.

MASONIC TEMPLE

We find the affairs of the Masonic Temple have assumed a
routine that call for no comment from this committee. We ap-
prove the action of the waiving for the present of the interest
back of January 1, 1917, on the second mortgage bonds and the
notes delivered to the Grand Lodge, as set out in Masonic Tem-
ple Committee’s report, to retire an equal amount of stock issued
to the Grand Lodge.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION

We note in the Grand Treasurer’s report that the order of
last year to set aside $1,300.00 in a special fund has not been

GRAND LODGE oF NorTH CAROLINA 145

complied with (page 118 of 1920 proceedings) and only $606.50
expended, leaving $1,000.00 unpaid, and ee fee this
be laid aside. If we are to have relief funds in hand to meet
. disasters, ‘it is necessary to lay aside from year to year a sepa-
rate fund in our own treasury as well as forwarding calls from
time to time to central office or outside.

GRAND CHARITY FUND

We heartily commend and approve the action of the Grand
Master in recommending that $3,000.00 be placed in a Grand
Charity relief fund to be used by him in relieving the appeals for
charity, under the regulations prescribed, as well as those added
to by him to take the place of the present $1.00 and $2.00 appeals
to Lodges, so we have set aside the $3,000.00 required for this
purpose.

GRAND TREASURER

A resolution has been offered to increase the Grand Treas-
urer’s salary by raising it from $200.00 to $300.00. The present
compensation was set in 1904, when the income of the Grand
Lodge was $12,353.00, while today it is $60,000.00. In 1919, the
Treasurer collected $225.86 on bank balances and in 1920 $510.71,
which aggregated nearly enough to pay this increase for ten years.
We recommend the adoption of the resolution to increase the sal-
ary from $200.00 to $300.00.

TIME OF PAYMENT OF APPROPRIATION

We recommend that the charity appropriations set out in
Schedule A of the Budget. be payable December Ist as a matter
of right and as soon prior thereto as the Grand Master shall di-
rect. The other appropriations we recommend shall be available
immediately, unless the Grand Master shall direct that they be
withheld for any purpose that he may see fit.

SHOAL CREEK LODGE, NO. 644

We recommend that the Grand Secretary return to Shoal
Creek Lodge, No. 644, the clear proceeds (after deducting ex-
penses) received by the Grand Lodge.

ROYAL WHITE HART LODGE, NO. 2

We recommend that the request of Royal White Hart Lodge,
\No. 2, asking the Grand Lodge to assume the expenses of repair-
‘ing and maintaining its Lodge hall be declined by the Grand
Lodge. :
; FINANCIAL

There are now 32,925 Masons returned by the several Lodges,
and we estimate the number of initiates at 7% per cent. on the
above (2,469) and a net gain of 5 per cent. (1,646) will give an
aggregate total number of Masons J uly 1,:1921, as approximately
\34,571. We estimate the receipts as follows:

Past Grand Master Andrews: The Committee on
Finance has directed me to make a verbal report on one
or two matters. One was that the expenses for a couple
of years attending the George Washington Memorial
meeting had been higher than it had ever been before.
We, therefore, ask that the brethren attending those
meetings be careful in their expenditures, as they would
be with their own.

Another matter is that in attending one of the spe-
cial communications, one of the Grand Officers put in his
expense account from a place outside the State and into
the State, and then back to the place where he was out of
the State. .Our interpretation is, that expenses are to
be paid from the residence of the Grand Officer to the
place of the communication and back to his home within
the State, and not outside the State. We have approved
the vouchers, and it is only to call attention to such
matters for the future.

Past Grand Master Royster: I am requested by the
Grand Master-elect to ask that the Deputy Grand Mas-
ter, the Senior and Junior Grand Wardens, the District
Deputy Grand Masters, the Custodians and the Grand
Lecturers meet him in this hall immediately after the
i ion of officers tomorrow.
ie J. W. Rowell: I think this morning during the

148 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

session of this Grand Lodge that we made a serious mis-
take. Brother Lacy introduced a resolution dealing with ©
the work, and instructed the Board of Custodians. what
to do. I move that we reconsider that resolution of
Brother Lacy.
“Brother Lacy: I would like to ask Brother Rowell

if he voted for that resolution?

Brother Rowell: No, I did not.

Brother Lacy: Then, he can’t move to reconsider.

Brother Brown: I wish to ask the brethren who
have contributed to the hospital, when they remit that
they will be kind enough to state on their remittance
that it is for the hospital fund. We have a good many
funds in our bookkeeping, and it is necessary for us to
know exactly what fund this money is for. I also wish.
to state that we have a good many of these reports
here, and I would be glad for the brethren to take them
home with them.

Brother Poteat: I desire to offer the following reso-
lution on behalf of Hamlet Lodge, No. 5382:

To the Worshipful Grand Master, Grand Wardens and Members
of The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

Resolved, That the Board of Custodians be atherteed and
empowered to hold annual examinations in the degree work and
to issue certificates to Master Masons who shall, in their judg-
ment, prove themselves worthy of them. ;

T. O. McEWEN.

Hamlet Lodge, No. 532.

Upon motion duly made and carried, this resolution
will lie over till the next Grand Lodge.

Past Grand Master Royster: I find in the annual
report of the Grand Master last year, a recommendation
to change in Section 111 of the Code, by striking out all
of Paragraph 2 of it, and inserting the following:

Amend Section 111 of the Code by striking out all of para-
graph (2) thereof, and insert the following: “Maim or deformity
shall not prevent a candidate from initiation and advancement,
provided such candidate can, by artificial means, comply with the
provisions of paragraph (1) hereof.”

The Committee on Jurisprudence recommended the
adoption of that amendment provided it should follow
the provisions of Section III, paragraph (1) of the Con-
stitution, as follows:

\’ Section 111. Physical Qualification. (1) A candidate for in-
itiation must possess no maim or deformity which will prevent
him from being properly instructed in the art and mysteries of

GRAND LODGE OF NoRTH CAROLINA 149

Freemasonry, and in his own i i

S » anc person instruct others by exemplifi-
os _(1) Maim or deformity shall not prevent a candidate
rom initiation and advancement, provided such candidate can, by

artificial means, comply with th isi
asm ply e provisions of paragraph (1)

All'those conditions set out in Section 111 have been
complied with, and this matter ought to come before the
Grand Lodge at this session for final determination. It
has been read, seconded, referred to committee, recom-
mended favorably and remained on file for a year; and
I now move for the adoption of the recommendation of
the Jurisprudence Committee of the last annual com-
munication.

This motion was duly seconded and carried.

Bro. J. C. Galloway, for the Committee on Subordi-

‘nate Lodges, submitted the following report, which was

read and adopted:

Committee on Returns of Subordinate Lodges reports that
returns in office of the Grand Secretary have been examined by
the committee and we are satisfied they are in order and where
errors or omissions occur the Grand Secretary’s office is giving
same attention.

a J. C. GaLLoway, Chairman.

Past Grand Master Royster: We had during the
World War a Lodge down at Camp Sevier known as Ar-
my Lodge “A”; and when the troops down there broke
up housekeeping and moved across the water to engage
in a very honorable enterprise, and the result of which

"was very pleasant to all of the civilization of the earth,
- they carried along with them the paraphernalia, jewels,

gavels, etc., that they had in Lodge “A”; and when the
armistice was signed and the boys came back—some of
them didn’t come back—they brought back with them the
furniture, the working tools, some memorials and tro-
phies from overseas; and like every other Lodge. that
surrenders its charter, they were turned in to the Grand
Lodge. I do not recall that any public acknowledgment
of the receipt of these historical trophies has been made.

About the most democratic thing I saw in all the ar-
my was Army Lodge “A”. I went to Greenville several
times, because I had a boy down there, and he had taken
the first degree in Masonry in his home Lodge at Oxford.
He had expected to take the other degrees down there;
but the Commanding General kept him so busy that he
didn’t get time enough to sleep; but he got his second
degree through Brother Mitchell within a few hundred
yards of the German boundary line. And he had hoped

150 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

to get his third degree on the way back across the Atlan-
tic; but they were so busy making room for each other
that they had no room. Speaking of the democracy of
Masonry, I went down there and found a splendid young
fellow who was a sergeant, Master of the Lodge; the
colonel, in one of the station chairs, and a brigadier-
general holding another, and the major, I believe, was
chaplain. I call that real democracy. The sergeant
could give orders to the brigadier-general commanding.

When these boys came back they brought a good re-
port of themselves; they brought a good report of the
activities of Army Lodge “A”; and they did more than
that; they actually turned into the Treasury of this
Grand Lodge $380.00. I wonder how many of us would
have gone as far as they went, and fought as long as
they did, and would bring anything back.

The first Master in that Lodge is in the Lodge room
now. Stand up, Brother Mitchell. We have $380.00
profit on it; and they have gotten a splendid experience
and have brought back some splendid trophies.

I want to move, sir, that the Grand Master and
the Grand Secretary, with the approval of. this Grand
Lodge, be instructed to purchase a suitable container or
place for storing and preserving these things that they
have brought back, and that they be deposited in the Hall
of History of North Carolina, as the property of North
Carolina.

Then again, I want to say to you, that the first Mas-
ter of this Lodge has a Past Master’s jewel because he
had been Master before. Brother Cox, colonel of the
regiment, was the Master of the Lodge when hostilities
ceased and the activities of Army Lodge “‘A”’ stopped; but
let us serve it out for him. Let us commute his sentence,
and let us present him on behalf of The Grand Lodge of
North Carolina, a Past Master’s jewel. I make the mo-
tion that Past Grand Masters Andrews, George S. Nor-
fleet and S. M. Gattis be appointed a committee along
with Bro. W. W. Willson to purchase a suitable Past
Master’s jewel to be presented to Brother Cox on behalf
of. The Grand Lodge of North Carolina.

Past Grand Master Norfleet: I have to have a fin-
ger in that ‘committee. Most of the existence of Army
Lodge “A” was while I had the honor of being Grand
Master of this Grand Lodge. Brother Pridgen signed
their charter, just because I let him do it; but I sort of

GRAND LODGE. oF NORTH CAROLINA 151

feel like I was half the daddy of that Lodge anyway;
and I have to have the pleasure of seconding that motion.
These jewels of Army Lodge “A” we prize highly now;
but a few years from now when many of us are gone,
they will be prized among the great treasures of North
Carolina Masonry; and it gives me great pleasure to
second the motion of Past Grand Master Royster. ,

Past Grand Master Gattis: I’ve got to have a say,
too. I desire to make a motion to amend Brother Roy-
ster’s motion. I understood him to say that he had talked
with Brother Mitchell and that he does not desire
this Grand Lodge to give him a Past Master’s jewel. But
on behalf of the Masons of North Carolina, I want this
Grand Lodge to say to him that we want him to have a
Past Master’s jewel; and I move to amend the motion to
give him one also.

The motion to amend was duly seconded, and upon a
rising vote, carried.
‘ The Grand Lodge was then called from labor to re
freshment until tomorrow morning at 9:15 o’clock.

152 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Third Day-Evening Session
THURSDAY, January 20, 1921.

The Grand Lodge was called from refreshment to
labor at 9:15 o’clock a. m., Most Worshipful James C.
Braswell, Grand Master, presiding.

Rev. John S. Wood, Grand Chaplain, delivered the
invocation as follows: ;

“O Thou Sublime Architect of the Universe! We
thank Thee for thy care through the silent watches of
another night, and as we meet again as an assembly we
.ask Thee for Thy divine guidance, that all we may do
may be with an eye single to Thy glory and the advance-
ment of this institution. We ask it in the name of the
Grand Architect of the Universe. Amen.”

Past Grand Master Cotten: In the address of the
Grand Master, in which he referred to the committee of
which I was chairman, it was suggested that the club-
house at Camp Sevier be turned over to the charitable
organization for rescue work. There is a general dis-
position among those consulted to grant temporary use
of this building for the purpose stated. I submit the pro-
position to you for final disposition. I am heartily in
favor of that disposition myself; and I move that a com-
mittee of this Grand Lodge, of three, be appointed to
confer with a similar committee from the South Carolina
Brethren, for the purpose of carrying out the proposed
suggestion made by the Grand Master of South Caro-
lina, and approved by our Grand Master.

' The Grand Master: That allusion in my report is
possibly not clearly stated. Past Grand Master ~~----
ere aera eee , than whom there is no more estim-
able gentleman in Masonry anywhere, jives in Green-
ville, S. C., and, of course, is very anxious to get every-
thing he can for his town. This was a project of his. The
Grand Master of South Carolina felt that he did not have
the right to give that property away without consulting
this Grand Lodge. When he submitted the proposition to
me, I knew that I did not have the right either; but I
did grant a temporary free use of it, with the promise
that I would bring it up at this communication. They
are looking for a final communication on this matter.
Do you mean that this committee be vested with author-

GRAND LODGE oF NorRTH CAROLINA 153

ity to make final determination of this, or take action
and report at the next annual communication?

Past Grand Master Cotten: My idea was that it.
would be a temporary arrangement until a satisfactory
permanent arrangement could be made.

_ Brother Anderson: I understand that the building
is almost valueless and that we do not own the land. I
would move, as a substitute, that the building be entirely
turned over for rescue work.

, Past Grand Master Noble seconds the substitute, and
it is duly carried.

The Grand Master appointed on this committee Past
Grand Master G. S. Norfleet, and Bros. J. H. Anderson
and Leon Cash.

Bro. Patrick R. King was called upon and made re-
marks and, on motion of Bro. B. R. Lacy, the Grand
Lodge expressed its appreciation by a rising vote.

Brother Phoenix: I. would like to record the thanks
of the Board of Directors of the Masonic and Eastern
Star Home, for the generous donation and support given
the institution by this Grand Lodge at this session.

The Grand Custodian made a further report:

To The Grand Lodge of North Carolina:

The summer meeting of the Board of Custodians and Grand
Lecturers was held at Mt. Airy, June 15-17, and was very success-
ful. Many courtesies were shown us by the Mt. Airy Brethren,
and we believe our meeting was a source of -pleasure and profit
to the local Brethren. The Deputy Grand Master, Bro. J. Bailey
Owen, was present during the entire session and was an active
and interested participant in all our deliberations. We appre-
ciated his presence and helpful assistance. ;

The January meeting was held in Raleigh on Monday and
Tuesday, previous to the annual communication of the Grand
Lodge. Monday the uniform work was reviewed, and a thorough
examination given to Bro. K. W. Winstead, who presented a cer-
tificate of proficiency from Bro. J. W. Alford. Bro. Winstead

‘ passed an approved examination in the work and is hereby rec-
ommended to the Grand Master to be commissioned as an Assis-
tant Grand Lecturer.

Tuesday, a school of instruction was held in the Grand Lodge
rooms and the work of the several degrees was fully exemplified
under the direction of the Custodians by the Grand Lecturer and
his assistants before a large and interested audience of Brethren.

The School of Instruction has proved so popular and benefi-
cial that it has been decided to hold a session annually on Tues-
day preceding the convening of the Grand Lodge for the benefit
of the Craft at large throughout the grand jurisdiction, and we
cordially invite all who are interested in the degree work to avail

154 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

themselves of this opportunity for improvement in the ritualistic
work. .

Many Lodges were lectured during the year, and the efficient
work of the Lecturers is heartily approved. We commend them
for their careful teaching of the uniform work and recommend
them all to the Grand Master to-be re-commissioned to continue
their labors for the ensuing Masonic year. -

Respectfully submitted,
J. E. CAMERON, Chairman,
LEON CasH, Secretary.

The hour for installation having arrived, the Grand
Master appointed Past Grand Master Andrews as in-
stalling officer.

Grand Master Andrews, assisted by Bro. J. W. Patton,

Past Grand Master Cotten: It is with great pleas-
ure to me personally, because I can call you my friend,
because I have known with satisfaction and pleasure the
interest which you have shown in Masonry, not only of-
ficially, but individually, privately and on all occasions,
Brother Braswell, that I make this presentation to you.
Upon assuming the office of Grand Master you were
scarcely able to do so on account of sickness, yet you
have devoted yourself unselfishly and willingly to per-
form the duties of this office. And having done so, the
Brethren, appreciating you as I have, have recognized
me to present to you this Past Grand Master’s jewel, as

GRAND LopGE oF NortTH CAROLINA 155

a token of their appreciation of the unselfish work, well
knowing that you have been influenced always and only
for the welfare of the Fraternity at large, regardless of
your personal comforts. Accept this jewel, and wear
it with honor to yourself and credit to the Fraternity.

Grand Master Braswell: ‘Brother Cotten, and Breth-
ren of The Grand Lodge of North Carolina: One of the
supreme regrets of my life is that I had not been brought
to Masonic light a great many years before I was. I
realize the littleness of my efforts spent on behalf of
the Fraternity; but no one has contributed his mite
with more cheerfulness than I. And if in the future
I can be of any service in any capacity to you and to
your distinguished associates, I shall continue to be as
best I can a worker for Masonry. I know, Past Grand
Master Cotten, than I don’t deserve this recognition.
Coming as it does from your hands, it has a distinctive
attraction and appreciation. From the hand of one in
whose fidelity I have felt always that I could in
confidence. rely; one who has been almost a_ life-long
friend to me, not only to me, but for a long series of
years a close and intimate friend of him whose honored
name I have.

Brethren, I don’t want to accept this because it is a
formal custom here to give a retiring Grand Master a
Past Grand Master’s jewel. Allow me, please, to accept
it as its symbolization of that fraternal esteem in which
I hope I am held by the Craft in North Carolina. It shall
be the constant endeavor of my life to wear it with no
discredit to the Fraternity, and certainly with a great
deal of honor to myself. I thank you, Brethren, most
cordially for this splendid jewel.

Bro. R. C. Dunn: Brethren, you heard last night
Past Grand Master Royster speak of the democracy of
Masonry that obtained in Army Lodge “A.” I want to
take advantage of that, and give an order now to a Past
Grand Master in this Grand Lodge. With your permis-
sion, Past Grand Master Grady, stand up. I assure you,
sir that, though I have just been installed as Sword Bear-
er, on this occasion I do not bear any sword. I come to
you with a slight token of the esteem in which the Ma-
sons of North Carolina, of this Grand Jurisdiction, hold
you. Not on account of the fact that it is customary
that a jewel be presented to a Past Grand Master; but
in sincere regard for that work that you have done for

156 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Masonry; for the time that you have labored in. behalf
of the Masons of this Grand Jurisdiction. I hope that
you will accept it from my poor hands, not for its in-
trinsic value or worth, but as a sincere token of the love
‘and esteem of the Masons of this Grand Jurisdiction.
Wear it, sir, with equal pleasure to yourself and continu-
ed honor to the Fraternity which you have so ably rep-
resented.

Past Grand Master Grady: Brother ‘Dunn, . Most
Worshipful Grand Master, and Brethren: The first
time that I ever sat in The Grand Lodge of North Caro-
lina, there was no temple here. We met over there on
the other side of the street; and the man who presided
over this distinguished body at that time was Past Grand
Master Walter S. Liddell, of Charlotte. Since that time
I have attended every meeting of this Grand body, and I .
have seen that vast array of distinguished Masons come
into power and pass. out into the ranks as I have done.
While wielding the gavel as Grand Master of Masons in
North Carolina, it has been quite a task to me to emulate
the example of those distinguished men. There has never
been any man who took that gavel with a greater feeling
of humility than I did; and there has never been a man
who sat in that chair whose heart went out in gratitude
to the Craft for the distinguished honor conferred upon
me. I accept this jewel from The Grand Lodge of North
Carolina; and while my term as Grand Master has ex-
pired, I want to assure you that the balance of my life,
so far as in me lies, shall be devoted to the cause of Ma-
sonry in North Carolina.

The Grand Master announced the following appoint-
ments:

Associate Grand Chaplains: Rev. S..L. Morgan, Hen-
derson; Rev. Bruce Benton, Rockingham; Rev. Albert
New, Waynesville; and Rev. C. K. Procter, Raleigh.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Brethren of the Grand
Lodge, Ladies and Gentlemen:

When Goethe, the great poet, lay dying, he was asked
by one of his attendants what he most desired, and his
answer was, “Light, more light.” From that day until
this good hour that has been the desire too often un-
expressed of humanity. We are met here today to com-
memorate the birth of one of the grandest characters
known in history, St. John the Baptist, whose mission
it was to be the forerunner of the divine Master, the
great light of the world. It is very meet and fitting that
we should do this, for of all the great men who have
honored this Fraternity with their membership none
ean excel the great ambassador of light.

164 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

I have chosen to speak to you, my Brethren, on a sub-
ject which is, or should be, dear to the heart of every
Mason, not only in North Carolina, but in the world. Ma-
onic Light, or “Light in Masonry,” not light in its re-
stricted sense, but light in its broadest and most com- |
prehensive definition, for without such light the great
plan of the founders of the Masonic order would have
long ago perished from the earth and the best inten-
tions of the Craft would result in chaos. I shall not
deal at any great length on this subject. For the most
of you it is already familiar, but after all it behooves us
today: to re-examine our hearts and see whether or not
there dwells within us the true Masonic light which on
our knees we asked for three separate and distinct times
and which, by order of the Worshipful Master and assis-
tance of the Brethren, we received, or rather we were al-'
lowed the privilege of receiving. Whether we received
it or not is the question which we must answer today.
To do this let us seek an honest, straightforward self-
analysis.

Occasionally we hear a man boast that on such and
such a day, “I was made a Mason.” That man has never
been more mistaken, for no man can be “made a Mason.”
Masonry is creation of the heart. There is no truer an-
swer given to any question asked than the answer to the
question, “Where were you first prepared?” for unless
a man be prepared in his heart to give and seek not, to
love freely and hate not, to work and toil and be not
wearied, to give light to them that sit in darkness, he is
never prepared to be ‘“‘made a Mason.”

After all, Masonic light can only be translated into
one thought and into one idea in its broadest and best
sense, and that is Love; for he who loves not can never
be a true Mason. He who hateth his brother can never
measure up to the full ideals of this Fraternity, and by
hating his brother I mean his brother in the larger and
fuller sense of the word; for it would be most unworthy
of Masons did they not love all humanity. I once heard
a great leader in North Carolina, Dr. Carlyle, deliver an
oration in The Grand Lodge of North Carolina on those
two words, “Light and Love,” and ever since that day it
has been more and more impressed upon me, the great
truth that light is love, for the more a man’s vision is
broadened, the more light which is thrown around him,
the finer and better can become his sympathy until he .

GRAND LODGE oF NorRTH CAROLINA 165

feels the true emotion, the love for his fellow human be-
_ ings, regardless of what their conditions and beliefs may
be. In that great address Dr. Carlyle used this expression,

Light without love is a consuming fire, but light with
love 1s an irresistible force.” And so in these troublous
times, my Brethren, I would appeal to you as men and
Masons to throw into life that idea and ideal of love and
loving service to humanity. May I not remind you that
on one occasion when the Savior was asked by one of
his apostles who should be greatest in the Kingdom of
Heaven his reply was, that he should be greatest in the
Kingdom of Heavert who had been the “greatest ser-
vant of all.” And so it is in this day that he who serves
best in whatever realm or walk of life he may happen to
move, will be considered, and is, the best man in his com-
munity. It is true that if we put nothing in we can get
nothing out. There are no free seats in the Masonic or-
der. I remember reading in Booth Tarkington’s novel,
“The Conquest of Caanan,” the story of the struggling
young lawyer who, standing in front of the circus selling
tickets, when it visited his town, espied his arch enemy,
old man Eschew Arp, standing in front of him and look-.
ing him in the face said, “Positively no free seats.” I
remember in the same story when old man Eschew lay
upon his bed dying, he sent for the young man who like
many of us, had thought but little of his future life, and
taking the young man by the hand, he said, calling him
by name, “My feet are on the river’s bank, I can see
within the gates.” And the young man said, “What do
you see?” and he said, “I see a sign in golden letters
across the gate-way,”’ and the young man said, “What
does the sign read?” and old man Arp looked him in the
face and said, “Positively no free seats.” That is true
of every phase of human existence. We cannot expect
to gain the heights and obtain a seat free. No man has
ever risen to a high place and retained it without work
and perseverance, for though our hearts may be full of
‘love so that we will not hurt anyone, yet if we do not
accomplish something our lives are negative; they should
be. positive. We should constantly’ strive to be of real
service as best we can to humanity. There are always
opportunities around us, no matter where we turn or
whither we go; we find troubles and sorrows which we
can do something in our own way to alleviate. Atten-
dance upon the Lodge meetings is commendable but at-

~~

166 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

tention to suffering humanity is more so. So many of
us comply with one and fail in regard to the other. I
will give you a concrete illustration. Several years ago —
I saw coming down the street of my home town, a man
crawling on his hands and knees, his muscles bound in
the unrelenting coil of rheumatism. I saw him approach
a man who was high in Masonic circles, who was a lead-
er in his church and a man of means. I saw him lift his
palsied hand and ask that man for help in order that he
might go to the warmer climate and be benefited if
possible by the waters of the hot springs. I heard this
man say to this suffering Brother, “I have worked too
hard to make my money to waste it on such people as
you.” I saw the suffering man pass on and come to one
of the humblest citizens of my town, without means and
with but little reputation; I heard him repeat his request
and I saw the humble citizen reach in his pocket, pull
out a greasy purse and empty it in the palsied hand.
Both of these men bore the name of Mason but there was
only one Mason, there was but one heart which had felt
the light which shineth more and more until “the coming
of the Perfect Day.”

And so we must learn to serve as well as love hu-
manity in order to carry out the true ideals of Masonry
‘and to let our light so shine before men that they may
see our good works and realize the grandeur of Masonry.

“Your way is dark,” the angel said,
“Because of your downward gaze;
Look up! the sun is overhead;
Look up! and learn to praise.”
I looked, I learned: Who looks above
Will find in Heaven both Light and Love.
“Why upward gaze?” the angel said;
“Have you not learned to know
The Light of God shines overhead
That men may work below?”
I learned: Who only looks above
May miss below the work of Love.
And thus I learned the lessons twain;
The heart whose treasure is above
Will gladly turn to earth again
Because the heaven is Love
Yea, Love that framed the starry height
Came down to earth and gave it light.

It is not my desire to weary you with too much talk
about Light, for you may be in the position of an old dar-
key who was caught one afternoon in the swamps of

- GRAND LopGE OF NorRTH CAROLINA —__—167
Alabama during a tremendous electrical storm and he
could only move by the flashes of the lightning, and the
thunder was very long and deafening. Finally the old
fellow stopped trying to go at all and uttered this prayer :
‘Lord, if you will just give me a little less noise and a
little more light I think I could get along better and soon
get out of here.”

The point I wish to impress upon this gathering is
the necessity of service to humanity in order to reflect
the true Masonic Light. “Take heed, therefore, that the
light which is within you be not darkened, but shineth
continuously from day to day.” Service to humanity,
that is the foundation stone borrowed from the moun-
tain of eternal truth by the founders of this organiza-
tion. It is not the secret words and signs and symbols
that have kept Masonry alive in spite of all its foes. It
is not its ancient landmarks or its beautiful ceremony.
It is not even the lives and characters of the great men
who have been its votaries, but it is the service it has
rendered as an organization, year in and year out, to hu-
manity, the relief of human suffering, the caring for the
destitute and the education of the friendless orphans.
Indeed the Masonic order or rather the true members
of it, come nearer recognizing the great commandment
than does any other human organization. I point to its
long life of over 5,000 years as proof of this assertion.
To my mind the clearest proof of the Savior’s mission on
earth was brought to light by the questions of a lawyer.
You will remember when the lawyer tempted the Master,
asking him what he must do to inherit eternal life, and
was told that he must love his neighbor as himself. Be-
ing willing to justify himself, he next asked who was his
neighbor and the Savior, answering, said, that a certain
man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell
among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and
wounded him, leaving him half dead. '

And by chance there came down a certain priest that
way! and when he saw him, he passed by on the other
side.

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place,
came and looked on him and passed by on the other side.

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came
where he was: and when he saw him he had compassion

on him. : :
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring

168 PROCEEDINGS OF TEE

in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and
brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

“Which now of these, thinkest thou, was neighbor
unto him that fell among thieves?”

And he said, “He that showed mercy on him.” Then
said Jesus unto him, “Go, and do thou likewise.” .

“Let us, my Brethren, make that sort of love a car-
dinal virtue of our daily lives. Let us attune our hearts
to human needs and human sympathies. Let us on ev-
ery occasion endeavor to let in the sunshine of Good
Deeds, and to the erring or discouraged fellow-mortal do
that thing and say that word that will bring joy where
there was sorrow, hope where there was despair, and
love where there was hate. “And in the day when the
keepers of the house shall tremble and the grinders
cease because they are few, and those that look out of
the windows be darkened,” you will find the recollection
of it the sweetest music that ever enthralled the human
heart. Also, you will have fought the good fight; you
will have finished the course and have kept the faith.
It is not possible for any of us to be perfect, it is not
possible for any of us to ever see clearly the Perfect
Light, but if we strive constantly to live up to and car-
ry out the ideals of service which the light of Masonry
teaches, we will eventually see that light, and we can ren-
der this service if we determine to do so.

Last summer, crossing the St. Lawrence River at
Quebec, I saw two small sailing ‘vessels passing by eack
other; one sailing East and the other West, while the
same wind blew and I asked an old sailor standing near,
to explain to me, and he said, “Sir, it is the set of
the sail.”

“One ship sails East and another West
While the selfsame breezes blow;

It’s the set of the sail and not the gale
That tells ‘them where to go.”

So it is with men. It all depends on whether or not
they have the fixed and steady purpose to “Carry on.”
So let us highly resolve that by the help of Him in whom
we have professed our faith before we ever took a sin-
gle step in the direction of the Masonic Light, that we
will each of us highly resolve to do our utmost to let the
light which has shown on us be reflected in our daily
lives, and each in his own way serve humanity whenever
and wherever that service may be needed.
